the American people, who seem to care more about the contestants on the Voice and not enough about the actions and inactions of those we elect to represent our interests. Sure, we can cast aspersion at the media, you bet. They are pathetic mouthpieces for their 1% owners. But the truth is out there, at our fingertips. If we weren't too lazy to dig for the truth, then 1% lies spouted from paid Tea Party shills would not have a following. Sadly we HAVE the government we deserve.

That they are SOOOO easily misled?
