Was George Carlin Right when he said this.....

In his later years he stopped being funny and was more of a Mort Sahl type.

He's not wrong here - we have the best legal and political season that money can buy (crap, I forgot to mention the media)

I also suspect that the "issues" that are on the news are to keep the population distracted so people won't realize how they are in control.

I was listening to a podcast called "Landslide" that was sponsored in part by NPR (don't stop reading after those three letters) and it described both the Republican and Democratic shenanigans that went on behind the scenes to manipulate public opinion in the Presidential elections from Ford to Regan.

Would love to have had Clinton and the Bushes included - but you probably couldn't go much further ahead because it's too close to the present to be semi-impartial.
