huzzah! for never updating le blog! now behold! a CONTENT-FREE! and ANGRY! update late at night:
if one more person asks me with an innocent/blank face: "but what do you have to be mad about? what's wrong with washington?"
... i may actually self-combust. i'm not sure how that happens, but mythbusters says it does, so it must be true.
i get asked this question ALL THE TIME. and i think it's pushing me over the edge (short trip, i know). but i've come to a conclusion: i think people are suffering in our country. suffering from a LACK OF NEWS.
this is a serious condition, folks. there's even a bumper sticker out about it. i believe it reads: "if you're not angry, you're just not paying attention." i'm sure it was first issued for bush-haters, but frankly, it doesn't matter. everyone should be pissed about something (because that's how incompetent our congress is).
maybe we're suffering from over-exposure. we have... how many? 24-hour news channels plus countless radio programs (though those are mostly conservative since liberals don't pay attention past the pretty posters) and an endless parade of emails, if you have the misfortune to have signed up for them.
sidenote:
dear nbc,
yes, i am a right-wing extremist, and yes, i do hate you all, though you do occasionally give me a good chuckle, like this week. in any case, please say hello to my digitus tertius.
love,
me.
continuing:
does anybody watch the news anymore? or are they all just watching nbc, which is pretty much the same thing?
why do i even have to explain myself? i pay attention, and therefore i am royally pissed. i may even start to use the royal 'we' soon, but that might get weird.
so please, if you don't know what your brand new fancy sparkling holy congress and your brand new hero president is doing with all of your tax money and political time, and if you don't know why the tea party participants were all carrying signs, just...
ask me about the weather. or the yankees. please, i beg you. and so does my blood pressure.
