The Dis-Information Society

Good post today by Jim Kunstler. They're almost always good, but he dialed down the vitriol and bitterness on this one. Lack of leadership - and lack of consequences for one's actions - is indeed the root of the problems we face.

In a related topic, I was reading - of all things - a graphic novel version of Reagan's biography on Slate. I should have known things would turn out as bad as they are when - instead of being stood against a wall and given a cigarette and a blindfold - criminals like Oliver North went on to have book signings and talk shows.

I imagine when Rush finally takes one too many prescription drugs - or gets caught soliciting in a men's room somewhere - Karl Rove can fill in.

Is this country great, or what?
