Political rant

I've sputtered and moaned about game show clichés sneaking into political stories before. But this is getting ridiculous.

Type "Let's Make a Deal" into the Google news cache, and you'll get a few stories about, well, Let's Make a Deal. You know, the game show with that Brady improv guy. But you'll get a lot more stories about the dealmaking in Washington to avoid some supposed fiscal cliff. As if the economy hasn't been tumbling over a cliff for years now.

Sooner or later they'll ram through some new taxes which will only make the economy worse. That's bad enough, but do we need the endless game show clichés about the process? Just tell us how much more we have to pay and forget about that show which started with Monty Hall.

Okay, I got the rant out of my system. Tomorrow it's back to game shows instead of political hot air.
