My first post - Ending With a Rantrant

This is my first attempt at blogging so there may be misspellings, tangental ramblings, and lots of non sequitors.
You will find that I nearly always use the Oxford comma. This blog will talk about all sorts of things. Often, I will mention the music that I have been listening to lately. If I do, check it out (I have great taste in music - everybody says so). This time its Duke Ellington, Sia, Deacon Blue, Elmore James, and Fred Eaglesmith. I will also share a lot of my cranky ideas on politics and the state of society in general. You will find that I use the phrase "I blame it on the teevee" a lot. This is because I really do blame it on television. Television has made these United States a nation of intellectual zombies where reasoned argument has given way to shouting matches filled with accusations, lies, ad homenim logic faults, and preposterous nonsense which people put up with because they are offered nothing better and are too lazy to search out facts and make their own judgements. Teevee is easy and free (in a sense); just what Americans have come to want and deserve. You can find some brerbirch letters at salon.com.

In addition to Salon, I like Huffington Post. A great jazz radio station can be found at KUVO.org; I really enjoy the R&B Jukebox on Saturday nights. Check it out. I also check out The White House website (thewhitehouse.gov) just see what sort of nonsense our government is up to.

The weather here in the four corners (the area where CO, NM, AZ, and UT meet) has been too cool for mid-June. I'm ready for hot. Shorts and sandals weather is what I want.

Alvin Youngblood Hart: "When I Was a Cowboy" from Big Mama's Door. Check it out!

And now for a little rantrant in the form of Questions:
How come the media aren't pissed about the way Bush at al led us into war with Iraq with lies?
How come President Obama after swearing to uphold the Constitution of the USofA does not go after those who so blatantly violated it?
How come the crooks who willfully ruined our financial system solely for personal gain were given tons more money?
Why are so many right wing nutjobs so bellicose?
Why are so many left wing nutjobs so timid?
Is there any hope that people in general will ever behave rationally again?
