Moral state of the American Union

18Brumaire knows its not January the ritual time for the American president State of the Union address before the joint houses of Congress, and broadcast like a papal discourse 'urbi et orbi', to the town and the world in imperial fashion. Herr Bush's 8 years have visited a plague of physical and moral squalor not only in America but in Iraq and other hot spots in the world. Yet you'd never know it if you followed the America media. What do we get: the actress Uma Thurman being stalked. Who cares? Well she might, and has the wherewithal to defend herself, but what about the average man or woman whose job are sent overseas, who don't earn enough to meet rising food, gasoline, and rent fees? And who haven't decent health coverage? Well they're less important than Mariah Carey marrying a man 10 years her junior. Or Madonna new hit album. Or someone's lost cat. And then there's the war in Iraq that Herr Bush engineered, it's gone from the public's sight even though a rip roaring majority have said 'ya basta!', enough's enough. And the sideshow of Clinton, Obama, and the tugboat admiral McCain...interviews pick nits, looking for scandal, and avoid the real and hard questions. Washington America's first president thought the average American who think for himself, but looking at today's media owned by the very few corporations who put profit before the truth, the US is woefully out of touch, and as such will continue to have leaders like Herr Bush to put them into the devil's pocket of woes and troubles and much worse.
