Where the culture goes, so goes the electorate and then eventually self-government. So where does that leave us? Apparently twerking before the ruling class.
For the newly initiated, twerking is described as a low squatting dance that involves moving ones buttocks in a circular, up-and-down, and side-to-side motion; basically a slutty dance derived from strip clubs. Miley Cyrus demonstrated on national television recently by grinding her rump up against her male co-star on stage. Real classy.
With each passing year, what passes for popular culture has become progressively more low-brow and increasingly sexed up. So-called celebrities are usually just famous for being famous. Others are sometimes infamous for video-taping themselves having sex and then pretending to be upset when it goes public (That was private, I swear!). Otherwise, why would anyone know who Kim Kardashian is?
Truly it has been a race to the bottom, going so far into the gutter that you really have to wonder what any of these poor celebrities can do to shock anyone into paying attention to them anymore. Soon theyll have to start acting like radical conservatives in order to rebel and get noticed.
As the country marinates in this stuff were becoming overwhelmed with people who know all about who Kims baby-daddy-whos-not-her-husband is, but dont have a clue about the basics of American civics. In the last few election cycles weve even invented a new term for these people: low information voters.

If Miley would buy some toilet paper she wouldn’t have to wipe her butt on the front of that guys pants.
When I was in High School, all you had to do to shock your parents or get sent home from school was wear your shirt tails untucked (Screen printed t-shirts did not yet exist) and let your hair grow over your collar. Girls could accomplish much the same effect by wearing their skirts above the knee.
Today, kids can’t even get a rise with facial tattoos and multiple piercings.
