			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(<em>sent in by a friend</em>)</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when we spent over $600 billion (and counting) on said illegal war.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when we didn&#8217;t catch Bin Laden.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when we gave a $900 billion tax break to the rich.</p>
<p>You didn&#8217;t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.</p>
<p>You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans&#8230;oh hell no!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/18/frank.heath.care/index.html">article appeared this week on CNN </a> about how Congressman Barney Frank reacted to some idiot woman. She had a photo of President Obama with a Hitler mustache drawn on, and likened some health care proposals to Nazi policies.</p>
<p>Frank reacted &#8220;<em>You stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis [...] Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Barney Frank is my Hero of the Week, for sure.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t care what side of the issue you&#8217;re on, making comparisons to Nazis and Hitler is completely idiotic. There&#8217;s no polite way to put it &#8211; the woman Frank was responding to is a simpering moron. Someone ought to slap her a few times, as she probably won&#8217;t get the point by using just her limited brain power.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a pet peeve. No, that&#8217;s not quite strong enough. How about &#8220;It pisses me off!&#8221;</p>
<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s better.</p>
<p>What is it with smokers who toss their butts out of their car windows? I see this <em>all the time</em> on my daily commute. They just chuck their smoking cigarette butt onto the ground as though the world was their personal garbage can. Dirtbags, every one of them.</p>
<p>From time to time when opportunity presents, I&#8217;ll accost one of them &#8220;Hey, no littering!&#8221; The answers are predictably foul-mouthed for the most part, though from time to time someone will surprise me with their stupidity. For example, one woman replied &#8220;I pay my taxes!&#8221; Well, okay, but so what? Does that give you the right to litter? Faced with that kind of response, all you can really do is say &#8220;My God, are you really that effing stupid?</p>
<p>Another time I honked at a butt-tosser stopped ahead of me in traffic. When she gestured to me that she didn&#8217;t know what my problem was, I pantomimed tossing a butt out the window. She very dramatically pulled out another cigarette, lit it up, and made a show of taking a deep drag on it. Um, lady, I don&#8217;t <em>care</em> if you smoke. Knock yourself out. Smoke until your lips fall off and your lungs turn into tar-flavored Swiss cheese for all I care. Just have a little respect for the people and world around you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking that maybe I should start documenting them when I see them. Where they are, what kind of car they were driving, perhaps a license plate number. It won&#8217;t help anything, but there is value to be had in venting.</p>
