A pastor with a flock of 40 in the middle of rural Florida makes headlines for planning to have a day of Koran-burning.
A well-known satirical documentary film-maker makes headlines for writing in his blog that the Islamic religious center should be built at - not near - Ground Zero, while dozens of politicians and wannabe politicians claim the Islamic center will be a terrorist-breeding-center mosque at Ground Zero.
Meanwhile, there's a mosque already near Ground Zero - has been for years - and no one notices.
A poll of the nation's citizenry reveals one in five doubt the President's religion is what he says it is.
More people vote for the annual tv karaoke champion (aka "American Idol") than for President.
A governor no one ever heard of two years ago can now make or break political careers, because she thought that would be a better career move than finishing her term in office.
A President no one ever heard of six years ago is giving the people who elected him the same feeling of buyer's remorse that one of his predecessors did, under similar circumstances.
But the opposition doesn't seem to have anyone in a position to take his place successfully two years from now.
Is it any wonder the greatest nation on Earth stumbles around like a newly-castrated bull in a china shop?

LOL I'm still wrapping my head around that last analogy, but I love this. It's very sad, but people always put their hopes and dreams in a well-spoken politician and expect him to save the world in less time than it took to watch it crumble. We've been building up this economic disaster for years, but we want Obama to "fix" it in two? And then, he, like every other politician, falls prey to mixing up his priorities(i.e., We throw together a hastily created healthcare bill that people either don't want or don't understand). It makes me sad, but the American political system is outdated and too divisive to do any real good. But maybe I'm just being pessimistic. :(
