Paranoia U.S. and A style

I have lost all hope of any kind of logical debate occuring in the US over healthcare. From either side. In my time living in the US and following politics there I cannot say that I have seen any good debates take place where both parties were involved. Take Presidential debates: both candidates blow smoke up each others ass because the American public don´t like to see their politicians bicker. Americans also supposedly believe in this concept of Bipartisanship. Bipartisanship is in many ways a practical way of saying hey we don´t actually want anything to really change so we take this half-assed approach where we water something down to the point where both parties look like losers. The democrats need an FDR, desperately and at the moment they haven´t got it. To Obama: stop bending over backwards and shove this thing through.

Paranoia and right-wing populism seems to be the way that the Republicans are going to retake the house and the senate. Too bad I would have loved to hear something solid coming out of their mouths instead of the garbage they are spewing at the time.

Funniest statement of the month: a man was interviewed on BBC about Carter´s comment that race is motivating a lot of the criticism of Obama (something I have not taken a stand on yet) and said something like this... actually racism in the US is not a real issue anymore. I almost died laughing wondering who the idiot who said this was.

Tonight Barcelona vs. Inter or as the press likes to call it Etoó versus Ibrahimovic. Hope Messi and Ibra rip through Inter.
