Only America could a sex affair have more value in the media than war in Georgia. Men cheat, they cover it up and I think most people agree that it happens. I’m not defending John Edwards, I think he’s quite the scumbag for having dragged his wife through all this, but let me remind you of a few things that are currently going on which I think are slightly more important than who John Edwards is screwing:

The industrialized nations, mainly the United States have decided that Bio Diesel with its many critics somehow is the way for us to become energy independent. In a recent article by the guardian the author Aditya Chakrabortty talks about a secret report which reveals the fact that the production of bio diesel has caused world food prices to rise by 75%.

It’s amazing really. The country that’s leading the world when it comes to waging warfare, the country that has the most ignorant president in US history is struggling decyphering what the news headlines mean. Russia attacks Georgia! Does that mean Atlanta is under fire? No that’s not what it means. It means you have to go back to school if you thought that. While Americans can’t tell the difference between Eurasia and North America the American President has the audacity of critizing Russia for their act of aggression towards a foreign country.

We definitely need more artists raising attention to the farce we call “media”.
