Patrick Kennedy ripped into the press today. His anger was directed not at the press coverage of congress, but the lack of it. Cynicism, Peter Slotterdijk tells us in his book, Critique of Cynical Reason, is "enlightened false consciousness." He means that we know what is going on (enlightenment) but we laugh at it rather than do anything (false consciousness). What do you think?
