Sheesh!

There was a time when I flew into  a rage only over important things.

Things like:

People tossing tissues and other trash out of their car windows;

Monsters who club baby seals;

Religious nuts who assault children (and Catholics don't have a lock on that);

Those who mistreat animals;

Coal and gas companies that dynamite mountains and frack the countryside, contaminating our water right down to the aquifer;

The decimation of our planet's old growth forests;

People who refuse to recycle plastic or even consider takings their own bags when they market on the grounds that "the gov'mint ain't gonna tell ME what to do";

(Ditto Sarah Palin who says the same thing about Michelle Obama's suggestion that we cut down on our kid's junk food consumption);

NASCAR drivers wasting fuel driving a car in endless,  purposeless circles, and the morons that watch them;

People who never stand up for what is right because they are afraid of offending someone.

See? ....all important stuff.

But I must be heading toward senility because this morning I had a hissy fit  just looking at Larry King's ugly, insensitive face, from which only the most pedestrian questions and observations have ever issued.

Twisted! Beyond Understanding

I heard, but am finding it hard to absorb, that the U.S. House of Representatives, in its infinite insanity, has not only voted to defund Planned Parenthood  and nixed funds for educational TV (let's drown those intellectual elites in the same bathtub we drown government, eh ?) but they have voted to support NASCAR to the tune of $7 million.

Burn up fuel; it's only $4 a gallon and headed to $100. Burn up the environment; who needs an ozone layer. Burn up our brains inhaling motor fumes while  drooling over the likelihood someone will crash and burn.

Beyond this, the Pentagon has made psy-ops forays into influencing Senators to continue funding the war in Afghanistan.

And the fellow who stands the best chance of mounting a challenge to this lunacy is babbling on about whorehouses in Nevada.

This was just a tiny bit of this week's news...and the week isn't over.
