Yesterday I talked about misinformation. Simply put, you can't know everything. You may have to figure out what is more important to you, health care, or Shaquille O'neal. If you are going to be misinformed at least make sure you are getting a laugh out of the deal. Often, satire reveals more truth than we know.
For my fake news I turn to the Onion. It is a great resource for the goings on in the fake news world. I am fond of the saying "if you can't laugh at yourself, than who can?". I think this quote can apply to humanity as a whole. Our history is in many ways comical. Our battles and arguments often trivial.
I.E Bart Simpson on Christianity,
"It's all Christianity people the little stupid differences are nothing next to the big stupid similarities."
The Onion, in many ways, tells it like it is. Today's video on "The First Openly Drunk Senator" at least brings the drunkenness of our political representatives into the limelight. Hell, all bus stops should have shelters! GENIUS.
