Fixing America

In the wake of reports that double amputee Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, 26, had been charged with the murder of his girlfriend Thursday, a report filed today by the Pew Research Center stated that the world is now down to just five stories that are in any way inspirational.---The Onion

Hundreds of European soccer games have been fixed. A decade of Tour de France was dominated by cheating. All of the stars of baseball's last decade have been enhanced by steroids. The thieves of Wall Street have been revealed and ignored. The Plunderers of Washington have aligned themselves with Crony "Capitalism," have been discovered and rewarded. The OIG, the Office of the Inspector General, gave awards recently to a number of the agents who investigated the "Fast and Furious" fiasco and exposed the wrongdoing, although nothing came of it. The State Department chose not to protect and/or defend its representatives in Libya. The most powerful domestic agency in the country, the IRS, has been shown to be partisan and political as an institutional policy without any consequence. The hallowed American Press has been undermined by government agencies. A gigantic enterprise has arisen in America whose sole function is to spy on its citizens.

People might become disillusioned if this keeps up.
