EPISTOMOLOGY VS. NIHILISM

I have not been over to the Onion for sometime.

I come across this perverted 'news' from time to time.

It cited the 'fact' that some 25,000 workers die every year attempting to save mass transit in a particular area; NYC!

My reaction was (and still is) terrible.

Every time I read this faux news item, I found myself laughing uncontrollably.

You know a friend of mine is a comedian and he had this gig in Vegas or somesuch and there were these Germans in the audience.

And he told me that following a comedic presentation there some Germans came back to have a tete-a-tete with him.

Beckerhead and rush and savage and a number of other folks discovered that if they keep on the side of entertainment and skip real political analysis (without the need of fact checking) that they would be rewarded.

And rewarded they were, by the big bucks.
