There is a reason Maddow and Letterman are yucking it up. Who cares if they're making you mad? There is nothing you can do to them.

It looks like you missed the pressure put on Letterman to apologize to Palin for his remarks about her daughter.

These folks can be mocked and they can be held accountable. In rare instances they can even be embarrassed.

Phlegmatic attitudes like yours accomplish nothing. Cynicism is for the birds. Being human is about striving...you give up when you die, and vice versa.

Okay - what do you suggest we do?

Olberman still has a show. The Daily Show isn't looking down being cancelled. Letterman is still on. Maddow is still moving.

Nancy Pelosi will be back next year. Her seat is "safe". So is Barney Frank's. So are most of the corrupt.

All this with the Tea Parties going on.

There is a reason they are smiling: there is NOTHING you can do to them. Nothing.

Have you seen John McCain's primary numbers? In Arizona - the Poster boy for the Amnesty movement is LEADING his opponent. Even with the SB1070 fight. How do you explain that? There is a reason John doesn't care about the opinion of the people of Arizona. Because he can do anything he wants and get re-elected.

Oh, you're going to pressure them in to making a half hearted, insincere apology? Wow. They're really feeling the heat now. And tomorrow they'll make a bunch more insane statements because people like you will get mad and watch their show, driving up their abyssmal ratings. So not only are they mocking you, they're playing you.

I agree that something needs to be done. But it won't be. The people who rule us are so insulted. They've spent many, many years rigging the game in their favor. If people who cared really wanted to do something, you should have done it 20-30-40 years ago. But no, life was good and people didn't care. So now we've got what you're looking at right now. And it's not going to change.

Now - if these were a pair of conservatives, they'd be off TV the next day.

Thus is life in 2010 Obamaland.
