Am I crazy, or is this outrageous? I'm having trouble digesting the way the media is portraying a couple of stories right now. First, there's Rick Perry and his flub at the presidential debate. Now, there's Herman Cain and his flabbergast concerning foreign policy. Are these important stories? I don't know contrast them with this:

Couple days ago, 60 Minutes comes out with a story called "Congress: Trading stock on inside information?" Now, OBVIOUSLY, one would say, this is ILLEGAL; INSIDER TRADING IS ILLEGAL. Every red-blooded American even a little versed in a few business laws knows that trading stock on inside information is illegal; one simply cannot profit from the market in this manner. Again this is cheating and its illegal.

Oh, except for Congress.

I DON'T GET IT AMERICA? WHAT DO WE CARE ABOUT? What's more important, the news about the Republican candidates forgetting a line, or the news that Congress is an unreservedly, unabashedly, corrupt entity. If I recall my history, the Roman Empire was not conquered as other empires had been. The Roman Empire crumbled and rotted from the inside out. Looks as if the American Empire is following in its footsteps.
