Actually my vote goes in the not screwed bin. I've just been dwelling on media hype for non or minor issues that gets us more government solutions, that are generally worse than the problems they are purported to solve. an example would be Bush getting in front of the media's bird-flu scheme. Now he can funnel your dollars to whichever outfits he wants... List the media scares presently being pimped, every one of them leads to your pocket book. Speaking of government solutions, did I mention that the Feds protect the over-populated Canada goose which could be carrying the flu to a pond near you? You won't be choosing which fear to bet on, Brother Bush will do it for you. If it were Kerry he'd do the same adjusted for party backers.
