Nations Liberals Suffering from Outrage Fatigue (The Onion)

[The_Gopher]

it's so funny because it's so true:

WASHINGTON, DC—According to a study released Monday by the Hammond Political Research Group, many of the nation's liberals are suffering from a vastly diminished sense of outrage.

Above: Flauman has trouble mustering outrage over Republican policy.
"With so many right-wing shams to choose from, it's simply too daunting for the average, left-leaning citizen to maintain a sense of anger," said Rachel Neas, the study's director. "By our estimation, roughly 70 percent of liberals are experiencing some degree of lethargy resulting from a glut of civil-liberties abuses, education funding cuts, and exorbitant military expenditures."

So which of the characters in the story would best describe you as of late?
I'm most like Suzanne Marshal....I'm a total junkie chasing the ghost. Trying to relive that feeling that I had when I first started to dig beneath the surface on a lot of issues and events ("Holy shit! GHW Bush and Jeb were caught in a hotel room with a load of coke!").

The article reminded me of a "This Modern World" cartoon from last year entitled "Outrage Overload."
