I love some of the scandals

Marine holding an umbrella. Uuughhh I should feel outraged.

The IRS looked on the guys in the tea party. Benghazi (The real scandal is changing emails).

The AP, is a real scandal, but for the attack on the First.

But none of them are that real in the real world, and I care about the AP since affects more than just the press.

You know what the real scandal is? Half the people in my county are going hungry...food insecurity and all that.

You know another one? Kids are not getting a good education, and arts and other programs are getting cut.

Here is another, due to the sequester...many families will go hungry, federal employees. Some might even lose their homes. Shhh...nobody should talk about that.

I could go on. The list is long. But it comes down to this, pols, not just in DC...plenty of that shit going locally, no longer work for the people. We really don't matter. They work for special interests.

That is the real scandal. And it matters little what party.

But even those are not the real scandal. The real scandal is the rise of poverty, insecurity, income distribution, lack of national health care, lack of care for the sciences and education...I could go on.
