I weep for our nation's future...
I'm a big Rosie O'Donnell fan. I think she's fucking great, frankly. I actively watch The View on my days off because she's just so goddamn liberal, and I think it's fantastic. Because I love Rosie so much, her blog is in my google reader feeds, and I read it daily. If you've never looked at it before, you should, because it's amusing.

The format is this: people have 140 characters in which to ask Rosie a question, she gives very short answers, then posts them everyday. It's amusing, sort of weird, and sometimes confusing, but I love it. So today, the following gets posted:

Kristen writes:

Isn't that fucking depressing. Let me requote that, "I’m only 18, so I don't always understand politics." The depressing part is that "Kristen" is one of the questioning few. At least she realizes that she doesn't know anything and is asking a reliable source for answers (Rosie's answer by the way was "money". Right on sister!)

Shouldn't America's youth be the vanguard of our new moral and ethical center? Shouldn't they be lashing out against realpolitik, slash and burn warfare thinking?
In general, I don't soapbox about our country on my "electronic machine", but the MTV2 generation just doesn't seem to give a fuck.

I suppose it doesn't help that they all go to mega-churches.
