And you wonder why Diogenes lived in a cave.....

Authors note:  I wrote this at a very low point this morning; and was instantly reminded of a quote from Ben Franklin:  "He who lives on hopes, dies....farting."

I hope to feel less.  Soon.

In the early morning hours today, the television news agencies began a looping report of an innocent soldier, murdered on the streets of Woolwich.

They quickly escalated their reporting by playing (more than once an hour) snippets of one one of the murdering bastards giving an interview to a witness, who recorded it all on his phone.

His hands were wet with the blood of his victim.

He still held the instruments in his hand.

And he spouted vituperative horseshit thinly disguised as regular horseshit.

The police showed up, and shot the murdering bastards in the legs.  They have since arrested two more people for the crime.

I think they should shoot them in the legs, as well.

The truly annoying part was that these purveyors of sensationalistic news, these morning news jockeys, had the nerve to look astonished that the witnesses seemed unaffected by the murder.  One women simply strolled nonchalantly past the murdering bastard as he spouted his aforementioned horseshit.

Strolled by.

Astonished?

Not me.

When you're inundated with this stuff 24/7, on the television, in the papers.....when it's brought to you in living color into your living rooms and such.....how can you NOT be desensitized?

And that, my friends, is the truly frightening part.

'Cuz some other murdering bastard is lookin' at this and thinking.......

"Cool."

I also think it's quite possible that "strolled by" can actually be "walking very slowly and naturally, just looking natural so he doesn't notice me, don't want him to pay attention to me 'cause that dude is fucking batshit crazy and I need to get out of here."
