I Wonder If It Is Me - or the World?

Trevor has the right idea about life right now.
You know I used to find the world amusing.  I suppose this was back before the internet and we didn't know all the crazy shit that was going on.
.
Really - CRAZY.
.
For example, the other day the Koch Brothers spent upwards of $600,000,000.00 dollars to stop a Republican plan to insure uninsured Tennessee residents by using Federal Funds via the Affordable Care Act.  (LINK, LINK).
.
Just the other day Sam Brownback, Governor of Train Wreck Kansas which cannot no longer balance their budget, did two asinine things.  After cutting school funding again (below the level the Kansas State Supreme Court said was legal, he decided to borrow money to fund the State's pension obligations, and then invest the borrowed money in the stock market.  You know, hoping that solves his money problems (LINK).
.
I used to think the Republicans were all for an honest, conservative government, but they now appear to just hate everyone that isn't a white male or docile female.
.
To make his State republicans happy Mr. Brownback also rolled back work place discrimination laws protecting gays and lesbians. (LINK) Because nothing makes them happier than having the ability to walk up to someone and say, "Hey Mr. Homosexual, you're fired - we don't like gays here."
.
Rick Perry said in New Hampshire that Texans don't want Health Insurance - that is why they have the highest number and rate of uninsured in the Nation.  (LINK) To get Medicate in Texas you have to make less than 19% of the poverty, or about $433 for a family of four.  So if you make $10,000 a year in Texas for a family of four - you choose not to have insurance because that is the way you like it.
.
Alabama says they have the right to ignore the Supreme Court of the United States, because they justices don't hate fags enough.
.
New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio is a freaking nut job.
.
And I wonder if this was always the way it was, but before the Internet we just didn't know.
.
I don't think so, but I am not sure.  We seem to be headed, full steam ahead for the rocks, alá the Concordia.
.
.
All of which is, I suppose, a way of saying that I think I am about done blogging.  The world has moved on to Facebook and even a blurb of a blog is too much to read anymore.  the world is not making sense to me, and trying to write about it is hurting my brain.
