Ace of Base's former member, Jenny Berggren, was attacked by a crazed fan, and realized fame and fortune wasn't all that it's cracked-up to be. This is a very rare trait among pop music stars. Unfortunately, Lady Gag Me will never ask for forgiveness for her blasphemy and will soak the masses for their last dollar all the while calling us, the United States and the people who want to keep it free, evil. I imagine it takes one to know one, Ms Gag Me (sorry, you're no lady)
Enjoy!

OMG The Sky Is Falling!
When Japan suffered that first tragic earthquake last month, the news media was all over it...even going so far as to send their normally chair bound talking heads over to experience the devastation first hand. Now? Hardly a mention.
When the government was threatened with a 'OMG The Sky Is Falling' government shut down last week, the news was filled with panic stricken talking heads desperately trying to blame the Republicans or, worse, the Tea Party for wanting to attain a balanced budget that our children and grandchildren won't have to struggle to pay for. Now they've moved on to other things...like the deficit ceiling (another potential 'OMGTSIF). Tomorrow, it'll be some other adrenaline inducing, shock story or fluff piece like Charlie Sheen's mental breakdown.
Of course, the lame stream media full of left wing socialists and George Soros a$$ lickers isn't only to blame. Neither is the single right wing conservative news station. No, they all stand out there, kicking their legs up, skirts flying as they do the wicked can-can to grab all the attention they can get.
But is it their fault they do this? Or is it the fault of the average American who's attention span ranges between 5 and 20 seconds?
I submit it's BOTH. When all we get are sound bites flavored with personal prejudices or prostituted opinions, our natural instinct is to shrug it off. That leads the media, on both sides, to believe we're too stupid to 'get it'. We're not. We are however too lazy to dig past the sound bites or the personal prejudices or the bought and paid for opinions to get the truth that is hidden from us.
We let them feed us pablum; we let them treat us like children. Ignorant children. But they forget. Children grow and their teeth will come in. The media and its puppetmasters may one day find those teeth sunk deep in their backsides. Deservedly so.
When it happens, they'll get no apology.

Is Obama Channeling Marie Antoinette?
Is Obama channeling Marie Antoinette? You have to wonder. He tells us to get rid of our vehicles that only get 8 miles/gallon, that we can't expect to keep our houses at a comfortable temperature in the winter, that we just need to eat less and everything will be fine. Does that sound vaguely 'third world country' to anybody but me?
But let's think about what he said... Don't drive as much. Get rid of your gas-guzzler... ie Buy a new VERY expensive hybrid or electric car ("Under my plan, the cost of electricity would necessarily sky-rocket.")?
And are you supposed to do it on minimum wage? Or Unemployment? Or the reduced wages many have been forced to take because our elected officials have encouraged big companies to produce goods overseas (thereby enriching those nations and making us poor).
Oh, and rising gas prices affect more than just the ability to fill up your gas tank and go for a spin. The cost of food, clothing, house utilities, is going to sky-rocket as well. So, even if you have a job, the amount of money you have left over from paying ESSENTIAL bills is going to be reduced. Even the cost of non-essential things that many of us have become accustomed to (cell service, land lines, cable tv and internet to name a few) will sky rocket.
Is that part of Mr. Marie Antoinette's plan too? It appears to be.
I'm looking for the rest of the clip I originally heard from Mr. Obama and will post it when I find it...if his minions haven't already scrubbed it from the web.
