For me the worst part about this year was seeing what the level of discourse in this country has become. Now the person who is the loudest is the one that is right. During Town Hall meetings mothers who had lost a child due to not being able to get treatment were shouted down by angry right wing mobs. It's also been depressing to see that the real power in this country is in the hands of the banks and corporations.

John and Kate is my pick. Such a waste of everyone's time.

Well at the moment I'm getting pretty annoyed seeing the story on Tiger Woods on every channel. It's cooled down a bit now, but still. I don't really care what he does in his private life. Don't you think?
