I Don This Paper Bag in Shame Of Our National Indifference



After an American drone attack killed 15 innocent people at a Yemeni wedding party last week, American media and culture seems to have forgotten it already, and moved on to things that are more important to them such as whether or not a homophobic member of "Duck Dynasty" should be allowed back on the airwaves. For this reason, and others, David is hanging his head in shame, and donning a paper sack over his head for the magnanimous insensitivity displayed by so many Americans towards the terror we inflict.

I am constantly amazed and disgusted by what the media and public find "newsworthy" and "important". Bless us all, these are truly dark days. Thank you David for showing a ray of light in this shoddy mess.
