Wednesday Morning Takedown

Wilford Brimley is pissed about something.

Trolling around for a WMT, I found this little gem at Gin and Tacos:

It is something I've been mulling for a while.  Why don't we riot anymore?  It's clear our political system is rigged to benefit the few and not the many.  Are we so sated by material prosperity and so depressed by the relative inequality of its distribution that we do nothing?

The Brits rioted because the tripled university tuition... to $14K a year, or roughly a fraction of what we pay to go to community college.  Why can't we get suitably outraged?
