Everybody into the handbasket

This is one of the best summations of the way our political discourse, not to say our entire country, has gone to hell in the past 65 years I have ever read.

We have an uninformed populace because we have a corrupted media because we’ve had a goverment run by zealots for most of the past 30 years. And as much as I’d like to think a liberal President will change all that…anyway, here’s the article.
