THINGS ARE REALLY GETTING SCREWED UP

• RON PAUL HAS AN APOCALYPTIC MESSAGE ON TV PROCLAIMING THE ECONOMY IS ABOUT TO TANK. I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS AN ECONOMIST, OR APOCALYPTIC PREACHER, BUT NONE THE LESS, HE SEEMS PRETTY CERTAIN OF HIMSELF. I DIDN'T NOTICE HIM MAKING SUCH PROCLAMATIONS WHEN BUSH WAS IN CHARGE. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT AND WOLD HAVE A GOOD RECORD.  MAYBE HE'S HAWKING A BOOK, I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION. IT SEEMS REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.
• WHEN I WAS YOUNG, YOU GOT WATER FROM A WELL OR THE TAP. NOW IT COMES IN PLASTIC BOTTLES, AND THEY GET THE WATER OUT OF A TAP, OR WELL. I SUPPOSE SOMEHOW THAT MAKES SENSE. COUNTLESS MILLIONS OF PLASTIC BOTTLES LATER, WE CALL IT PROGRESS. I CALL IT STUPID.
• PEOPLE ARE ELECTING RIGHT-WING YOYO'S WHO ARE MAKING IT CLEAR THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP GIVING THEIR RICH FRIENDS AND CONTRIBUTORS LOTS OF MONEY, THEY ARE GOING TO CUT MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND SOCIAL SECURITY. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY DUMB AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART OF THE VOTING PUBLIC. 
• AND THEN THERE'S BILL COSBY, MR. FAMILY MAN. ENDS UP HE IS SEEMINGLY A DIRTY OLD MAN. HE ONCE GAVE TESTIMONY THAT HE DRUGGED WOMEN IN ORDER TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM. OH CRAP, HE MUST HAVE FORGOT. HIS BUST WENT DOWN AT DISNEY WORLD. MAYBE HE CAN SELL IT FOR LEGAL FEES. AND JARED FOGLE, MR. SUBWAY. HIS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION DIRECTOR WAS ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. NOW JARED'S HOME IS SEARCHED BY STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND SUBWAY HAS SUSPENDED HIM. NO ONE HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING YET, BUT, GEEZ, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
