Grammies? Distraction.

Did you watch the Grammies last night? No? Neither did I. Nor do I watch any reality shows, award shows or celebrity stuff. Like sports and beer, they are distractions which the state hopes will keep our attention so that we wont focus on the big issues, like the size of our debt.

Sure, lets focus of what Lady Gaga is wearing, instead of our massive debt. Why not catch Mick Jagger whooping it up on stage, instead of thinking about our failing educational system. Let’s checkout what near-naked outfit will be turning heads this year, instead of wondering how we will be able to get a job in this job market. Let’s booze it up, and get all shocked and appalled at the latest American Idol singer to be booted off the show.

The state wants you distracted by all this. They want us to think about other things, not what they are doing to ruin our life, and our children's lives. Lets not let them.
