America's Moral Bankruptcy

While America demonstrates its moral bankruptcy daily with drone bombing, etc, etc, the American people are not bankrupt in this way ... and this just confuses the hell out of Euros.  They like Americans but don't think for a moment that means they like Washington.  They don't understand how the people they like have elected such a travesty of a government.  I don't understand it either and I've lived here for a large part of my life.

Moral bankruptcy in America is more apparent than real and the much bigger tragedy is cultural bankruptcy.  Yesterday's big news in music was that Taylor Swift has secured the taylorswift.sucks domain name.  Whether that's an admission of reality or a defense against predators is for you to determine.

(Ed:  what's the deal with Taylor Swift?)





Taylor who?


The modern age seems to be the Scourge of the Blondie Bimbos whether it's the barracudas on Fox News, barracuda singers with not a damn thing to say for themselves, or, everyone's favorite, Hillary Clinton.  Barracuda to the right of us, Barracuda to the left of us ...

But at least there's Kanye West to tell you he's bigger than all of it.  Maybe someone should tell him he fights to be King of an Anthill ... or maybe not.  It would just break his heart.

Culture in America is still alive but ... dayum ... is it deeply buried.
