This morning’s NPR story about Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee is what did it. My anxiety over news items has reached a critical level. Somewhere between Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, AIG, and political muckraking I realized that I will once again have to abandon news media in an election year. This mornings story left me with a fairly solid belief that the guv’ment had Bruce Ivins killed to cover-up their scare tactics over inciting the American public for the Bush’s war agenda… See, it is quite literally driving me crazy. So I will abandon my responsibilities of being an informed citizen.

Someone send me an SMS if the world ends between now and Election Day.
