Jacked Up

Jacked Up Definition
Adjective. Informally used to describe something that's not quite right.

While that killjoy Carl Bernstein is bitching because there are too many celebrity news outlets and not enough public affairs journalism, leave it up to Page Six -- the celebrity news outlet -- to muddle Bernstein's theory by reporting on the Iraq War.

Thirty-nine American soldiers were killed in Iraq in October, the fewest deaths there in any month since 2004. In October 2006, 106 U.S. troops were killed. "That story is untold," Fox News Channel correspondent Chris Wallace said on Steve Malzberg's WOR Radio show Wednesday. "You don't see it in the New York Times, and you don't see it the Washington Post . . . The mainstream media don't like good news from Iraq.

Wait? Thirty-nine people died -- more than one a day -- and that's good news? Jesus, Mr. Wallace -- you've got a jacked-up sense of what constitutes good news, huh?  When hunters killed Bambi's mom, did you do a little dance because the hunters didn't firebomb the forest? It's hard to see the glass half-full, Mr. Wallace, when the it's half-full of dead American soldiers. Get your head out of your ass, sir.

Carl Bernstein certainly took the lyrics of "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" to heart. Idiot.
