Reality-Show Rubbish

The great disgrace of America's current situation is that it is still a democracy. The American public is voting for the reality-show rubbish of the ongoing election cycle.

We have no one to blame but ourselves. For all the system's faults we could stop the shameful spectacle in a single election. We kind of did in 2008, to the world's relief.

But there was no respect for that outcome and another disgrace in the 2010 election. Yuck. On the Republican side the system is primed for permanent minority rule.

That is the end of democracy, realty-show style.
