Days of Rage

I find myself these days in a constant state of outrage, alternating with depression. I find I’m having trouble handling unpleasant situations in other areas of my life. I’m angry and short-tempered and my wife says she’s never seen me upset like this before. Changing my website from the bright, cheery place it was before is a result of attempting to deal with the fucked state of the world these days. I suppose it’s my form of therapy…

Gee, remember the “bad old days” when Carter was president? I’ll bet that history’s judgement will be far kinder to him than any of the clowns who have occupied the White House since then. Carter at least, has “walked his talk” and hasn’t lined his pockets from the speaking circuit and boards of corporations. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Bush’s chances of achieving something like that are about the same as a snowball’s chance in Iraq.
