13. I don't know about the rest of you but I feel I

have been watching a movie for the last four years. It is not yet finished but the media have been there the entire time. They are the directors. We are the producers. The only way we know what is or is not going on is through the media. We sometimes get information on how things are going, but it is controlled by the media. The media controls acid reflux and doles it out on a regular basis. We are at least allowed to decide who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, but that can be changed overnight. I am fed up with this movie and I know it will not be in line for an Academy award for 2012 but just might make it for 2013. I will wait until the president holds his State of the Union message before I quit in order to see who in the Republican party this time yells out "You lie."
