A Message To Matt Drudge From An Adrenal Gland
It's not working, bro. The flashing sirens and big red letters. The horror stories about young people and minorities running wild, right below some crazy freak's banner ad for a video about how the whole country's about to collapse, and I'd better buy Glenn Beck's favorite brand of gold coins if I don't want to have to eat my own family. I watch it all now, and I don't even react. Nothing - not even a squirt of epinephrine. I'm sitting here as useless as an appendix. An appendix, Matt.
Used to be, I'd go over to your site, and the guys up in the cortex would just light me up with stimuli. The pituitary would be screaming at me like an air-traffic controller on crank: "Have you seen this stuff in the Middle East? And these flash mobs everywhere... What the hell is going on?! Get to your basement now, because Obama and a gang of people who do not look like you one bit are about to bust in here!" It was exhausting. I mean, I'm always up for some action. Elevating the heart rate is my whole thing. But you ruined it, Drudge. You've been telling me my whole world's going to end for more than a decade, and I look out my window... and the world's still there. Lately whenever I hear about some insane article on your site I just... I just can't get worked up about it any more.

2. I think so, yes.

But... how many are we talking about? And when you throw FN viewers into the mix, we're talking about something that would destroy the healthcare system.

I'm glad my darkness is entertaining.
You know what it's like to see an ex on a 30 ft tall poster in midtown Manhattan? YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE? |

6. Welcome to DU, paulbibeau!

Glad you're here! I enjoyed this - thanks for posting it here!
These screamers and screechers and whiners and and yowlers are on the wrong side. Thick-headed, gullible, willfully - even proudly ignorant, with rigid, closed-minded, myopic worldviews. |

I love this place. BEST political site on the internets, as far as I'm concerned.
GREAT connective tissue to other resources and sites and research and good reads throughout the web. It's more like a think tank, really. MANY contributors here, some of them professional writers and pols. They come from all walks of life, every kind of experience, every imaginable profession, great thinkers and analysts, just about every age you can think of (except the little bitty ones, of course), from many other countries, and certainly all parts and corners of our own. And a great fiery motivating spark for activism! I come here and learn. Every day. |

10. Just you saying that makes me think we're all going to be okay...
|
We might actually end up okay! I mean, I don't want to go crazy here. But maybe modern democratic countries might do just fine.
