I Could Care Less

I could care less about the Chris Christie bridge scandal. I don't care if 25 million people were stuck in a traffic jam over a thirty day period much less four days trying to get into New York City.

I live in the Western United States. I live in that part of the U.S. where the feds dictate where cattle can graze and where timber can be cut, and oil can be drilled.

I live in that part of the country where the weatherman in the national news feed stands in front of Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona on the weather map and tells me about how rough it is on the East Coast. I could care less.

I live in that part of the country where I wonder why a federal prosecutor can be found in less than 24 hours to investigate a bridge scandal and yet no federal prosecutor can be found to investigate the IRS for targeting conservative groups during the run-up to a presidential election.

I live in that part of the country that wonders why nuns who take a vow of poverty and care for the elderly are being targeted by a guy who was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, yet never wrote an article for the Harvard Law Review.

I live in that part of the country where the Department of Justice was selling guns to Mexican drug cartels.

I live in that part of the country that views the East Coast like Western Canada views Eastern Canada. The East lives off the West and then lectures us on lifestyle and belief.

You can keep NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, and MSNBC. You have already ruined Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. Do us a favor just get a DVD that features the West Coast and just watch it at home.
