Political Attention Deficit Disorder ? New Psychiatric Condition

"The chief cause of PADD is the desire to avoid the very real pain of cognitive dissonance, the difference between what Americans want to believe about the greatness of their country and the disturbing reality that their government and country are in terrible shape, which is a constant reminder when there is normal, healthy political attention." This is satire, for the moment...but ?mental disorders? at least as ridiculous are ?diagnosed? every day.
