these are our lives

“I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables—slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war . . . our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”
—Fight Club, 1999

Politics, Media, and Mr. Stewart

Jon Stewart once again shows us what journalism is and isn’t. The comments here on Karl Rove should be in all of our minds. The man at the center of one of the most serious crimes against America (the Valerie Plame outing), is now employed by Fox News.

America needs integrity. America needs justice. If the highest members of our society can get away with so much, how can we hope to ever maintain a peaceful and just environment for the society they represent.
