Nations Liberals Suffering from Outrage Fatigue (Onion)
Sometimes I feel like this Onion article!


WASHINGTON, DC—According to a study released Monday by the Hammond Political Research Group, many of the nation's liberals are suffering from a vastly diminished sense of outrage.

"With so many right-wing shams to choose from, it's simply too daunting for the average, left-leaning citizen to maintain a sense of anger," said Rachel Neas, the study's director. "By our estimation, roughly 70 percent of liberals are experiencing some degree of lethargy resulting from a glut of civil-liberties abuses, education funding cuts, and exorbitant military expenditures."

1. The Daily Show and The Onion: More Truth than "serious news" outlets.
Once again the humorous news is far more insightful than the corporate globalist propaganda that masquerades for news in the popular culture.
