What's Going On?

What is going on in our Country these past couple weeks? Here is a list that just befuddles me...

• Ann Coulter - what a fucking bitch.
• The Amendment to Ban Gay Marriage to preserve the sanctity of the Marriage Institution...what a bunch of bullshit - 50% of marriages end in divorce - does this say a great institution?
• Gay Bashing and Hate Crimes in NY...the youths say that they didn't know he was gay...the yelling of "Die Faggot" and the fact that he is a famous entertainer/drag queen says otherwise...enjoy prison boys...
• The blown out of proportion reporting on a weak tropical system - TS Alberto - Fox went so far to show a large puddle in the street and declare that the storm has caused widespread flooding - enough already and it's only June. A season full of sensational and exaggerated reporting awaits us - awesome!
• The great American divide...as shown in this picture from Florida, we are growing further and further apart - red states and blue states...will we ever be a United States again? What is wrong with these people?
