How can you blame the Germans?

It seems that 55% of Americans don't know that Planned Parenthood does abortions.

Millions of dead babies and the average American has no clue...  How many of those 55% could blame the citizenry of Germany during World War II for not knowing about the concentration camps?

In other news, 55% of football fans don't know that the NFL is a football league.

When was this song written?

The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

I ran across this, unattributed, and just assumed it was written in 2013.  However, it's from Steppenwolf's "Monster", from 1969.  There's some hippie druggie claptrap earlier in the song, but this portion is an amazing description of the modern day America.

There you go, Joe

Okay, my grand thoughts on the whole situation at Penn State are still to come.  In the interim...

Too bad Joe couldn't live long enough to see this....

To me, four teams is perfect.  There are no more than four teams who can have a claim on the college football national championship.  If you are #5 and you're ringing your hands that you should have been #4 and gotten into the playoff... TOUGH!  If your claim to be #4 is controversial then so is your claim for a shot at #1.  With a 4 team playoff, college football still has the most meaningful regular season in all of sports.

Granted, it will ultimately be extended to 8 teams, then to 16, then to 128.  That will suck, but for now, I'm happy... and happy to see what Joe always wanted come to fruition.
