is there something up with politics these days?
I've stopped blogging much or doing political lj'ing much lately, because the whole 2-party thing is really really really depressing me. Is it me, or just the fundamental wrongness? Hard to tell.
But you know the state of political debate is in a bad way when the Daily Show makes you want to cry.
That said. There is a billboard I drove past the other day that has a weird-angled picture of a cute fat boy eating a burger, with the caption "feeding kids meat is child abuse". Seriously.
Yes, of course it's PETA. And it's almost pointless to protest because of that - they're trying to be assholes and extremists. But I can't believe people who see real child abuse and neglect haven't gone and torn the thing down by now.
