Do we all have Alzheimer's?

Oh, woe on America. The news media coverage of the presidential campaign has been awful. Terrible. Sound bites. Nothing in depth. And it’s been tabloid-type journalism. Take the off-the-cuff comment of Barrack Obama in San Francisco and make a big deal of it. And take it out of context. Or take a quote of Obama’s minister friend Jeremiah Wright out of context. And take Obama to task for not repudiating his friend. Give me a break, please. Or the fact that Obama doesn’t always wear an American flag lapel pin. Maybe that makes him unpatriotic. Yes, give me another break. And when there’s a debate, the candidates are supposed to answer in 30 seconds or one minute or maybe 90 seconds. Wow! Whatever happened to an old-fashioned Lincoln-Douglas debate? I suppose our attention span has been shortened over the generations. We’re down to a maximum 90 seconds now. Reminds me of someone with Alzheimer’s. Good lord, is it possible that we all have Alzheimer’s? –Jim Broede
