Shut 'em down

I hope Shut Em Down by Public Enemy's playing over the loud speaker through every hall, building and office in Washington D.C.  And yes, I completely see the irony of Public Enemy playing across the halls of Washington as a shutdown is about to occur especially with Chuck's affiliation to Obama.

No, I don't want the government to shutdown but part of me kinda wants it because I'd like for the public to perhaps act on the stupidity that runs (and ruins) this nation. It starts with the worst POTUS of my life time (yeah, yeah, yeah, Bush was bad but he didn't destroy the integrity of the presidency and at least he could answer questions off prompter) and goes all the way down to the intern will to sleep with anything to get a political job. They are all bad ... get rid of all of them.  Vote every last one of them out of office ... liberal, conservative, moderate ... they all have to go. Put people from our top corporations in office ... run the country like a business.  Do something ... anything.

Why can't we find different people to run for office? When I think through the options on my last voting ballot, all the options were basically the same except labeled independent, republican or democrat. I've always written in people not because I"m throwing my vote away, because I'd rather vote for something rather than some ass hat that's grandstanding for a few more minutes on CNN.

And while we are at it, let's take the 24-hour news cycle with them. Any chance we can figure out a way it can be "shut down" with the government?  I'm tired of seeing "breaking news" stories only to tell me that Wolf Blitzer has an interview with some Senator that no one really cares about ... or Sheppard Smith just got breaking news that someone is going to be holding a press conference about something in a few minutes. Why not make "breaking news" about ... wait for it ... actual breaking news? Why not cover news instead of trying to create it?  Ugh, and it's only Monday! Can you tell I worked all weekend? I could go on for hours, but alas, I will not.  I leave you with an angry Chuck D and Shut Em Down.
