America's disease: FOXic-Shock Syndrome.
Why not give America's sickness a name?

What's the matter with Kansas? Basically, they're afraid and they don't know what's going on. And as with many diseases, that's not entirely their fault.

As the PIPA study pointed out, all too many Republican voters are poorly informed due in part to the Media, and the dissembling that comes from the White House. http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Pres_Election_04/html/new_9_29_04.html

Republican levels of trust in "fearless Leader" would be charming if it were not so dangerous to the rest of the world. And I ask; who preys upon that trust like a nasty strain of flu on the immune system with more virulence than does FOX NEWS?

Cognitive dissonance is just a symptom, a marker for the disease manufactured in the FOX newsroom and afflicting the brains of just enough Americans to place a tremendous burden on the rest of the world.

Propaganda can be a disease that lays the truth low, But FOXic-Shock Syndrome crushes it.

The media also suffers from the spread of Foxic-Shock Syndrome.

And we need look no further than the White House to see the ultimate ravages of FOXic-Shock Syndrome. Look to George Bush: a stumbling, bumbling, incompetent, criminal and profane mess given to irritability, threats and violence. Falling off bikes, choking on pretzels.

FOXic-Shock Syndrome: A Pox for the new American century.

3. I don't know if I'd compare Focks to an overused tampon.
Focks isn't even useful when first unwrapped. :shrug:

5. Ya know, I didn't really think this thing all the way through.
It's utterly tasteless.

Oh well, there goes my reputation. :-)
