Like a frog sitting in a skillet blissfully unaware of the sadist slowly turning up the heat, we can walk through this world without realizing the fire in which we burn.  Gone deaf from the rising din, gone blind from stage lights growing one lumen every minute, we comfort ourselves with routine and assuage concern with indulgence.  The combination of Earth’s gradual surrender to insanity and our persistent self-medication renders us null to the awareness of dire condition.  It makes us oblivious to as the planet goes slowly mad.

But, some mornings offer a moment of clarity -- a jolt to perspective revealing just how batshit we have all gone.  This morning offered such to any with an Internet connection.  Submitted as Exhibits A, B and C in the case for this Earth gone psychotic, I offer the following as state’s evidence that we have lost our goddamned minds.

Exhibit A -- Our Journalist

Exhibit B -- Our Politician

Exhibit C -- Our Celebrity
