What is the outrage du jour? I'm still contemplating this nugget that Scoop shared with us:

Outrage Tourist
people who are angry at the state of things, and just itching for more excuses to rage, and Greenwald delivers. over and over, he posts articles that are designed to just make your blood boil if you're on his ideological side, which is the exact same thing that conservative talk show hosts do.

It's very thought provoking and I think it is worth delving into more. That said I'm still outraged over Oprah and her 38 thousand dollar purse that she didn't buy.

Does Outrage Tourism diminish our ability to think rationally and discuss things objectively? Do we seek outrage or are we seeking solutions?
