"Respected journalists" like Andrea Mitchell were cutting into real news to give us breaking news accounts of Beiber's arrest. Sadly, this is what's considered major news in America these days, and it is a poor reflection on our shallow, celebrity obsessed, culture.
Not the uprising brewing in Kiev; not the growing crisis of income inequality in the world; not the mad man in North Korea threatening to blow his neighbors to the South out of the water; or, for that matter, the plethora of real problems we have in this country such as what to do with the NSA and controlling the proliferation of assault weapons on our streets. No, what we want to hear about is what a strung-out Justin Beiber happens to be doing with his money and his time.
I just wish that there were more people like me out there who could give a damn about what goes on with "The Beeb".
Finally, it looks like the Secret Service decided to pay a visit to my slave catching friend down in Florida. Sorry Joshua, you can't make such a high profile threat against the life of the president of the United States and not expect your threats to be taken seriously.
You, of all people, should realize that this particular president is more vulnerable when it comes to these types of threats than others who came before them. We all know that Americans have no problem with taking out their presidents, so making these types of statements in public was dangerous and irresponsible.
"It was not a threat," said Black, insisting that his tweet — "I'm past impeachment. It's time to arrest and hang him high" — was merely expressing outrage over the president killing U.S. citizens with drone attacks and without due process."
Oh but it was a threat. And the boys in the dark suits were just making sure that you weren't going to follow through with it.
