Too goddamned nice

The problem with the American press corps, you see, is that they're too nice, you understand.

Our hard-core, adversarial press corps

And the problem with Lady Gaga is that she's too goddamned reclusive.

Right.

If you believe that shit, I got an arc or two in Paris I'd willing to sell ya.

The humanity that looks at itself, right now, and says that it's problem is that it's too goddamned nice may need some serious correction in their lenses.

Journalists, like the rest of us, are the same selfish pricks who've been inhabiting this world since the dawn of homo sapiens.

And if there is any period in recent human history which should have dispelled the notion that this most predatory and dominant of species on the planet is too nice or too thoughtful, this should be the one.

I'm a dick. Things fall apart. And it's always someone else's fault.

And so it goes.

Jesus says pluck the beam from your own eye before you pluck the splinter from your neighbors'.

And we all sit around and bitch about how the boss has better tweezers.

Same as it ever was.

The problem with the world, you see, is too many folks like Nick Vujicic.



Too few folks like Hamas. Or Nancy Pelosi.

Right.

Silver lining?

No species can go on fucking shit up forever. At some point, people really do want to move forward. Even if it involves a little humble pie.

Make mine vegi, please. I'm famished.
