Not Taking It Anymore...

...because I really am mad as hell. I've decided to begin posting some of the comments I leave on other people's blogs, websites, listservs, etc. because I'm starting to come up with some real comic gold in my rants. At least, I think it would probably be funny if our society weren't at such a critical point right now. Or maybe that's the paranoia from the weed talking...ha! Just kidding. It's really from the ibuprofen...

Today's Therapeutic Anger Triple Feature:

From a listserv
"And I trust a CSU suit to competently perform his/her job about as much as I trust, oh, THE ENTIRE FUCKING LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO PASS A FUCKING BUDGET AND CONTINUALLY BURDEN PUBLIC EDUCATION WITH THEIR GENERAL DOUCHEBAGGERY.

Call your representative and tell him/her that he/she is a douchebag. Get everything in writing. In all caps. Do not assume that ... anyone who should possibly have been paid a royalty or licensing fee will be cool with their work being ripped off."

I got mad props for my use of the term 'douchebaggery' on that one. And don't assume that John Q. Public will be cool with having their special services districts torn a new financial asshole in the current economic crisis.

From an online petition to forgive student loan debt that I couldn't quite sign because it meant registering for stuff and I hate doing that (that's the paranoia talking again)
"I am a public school teacher. Like most teachers, I acquired student loan debt in order to receive the education and training that would give me the tools to become a competent professional in the classroom. I go to work every day to educate the children that our federal government is SCREWING by eliminating major education spending provisions from the current stimulus bill. Mr. President, I am not an eternal optimist. I expect that when reason and compassion are blatantly thrown under a bus to pander to ideological nincompoopery on the part of elected officials that the public reserves the right to use shame and derision to meet its needs. Please tell the Legislative lunkheads you work with that their constituents are speaking - it is time to listen."

Honestly, I'm not even sure I am making a coherent point in this one. I was just really pissed off and needed to yell at someone. Kind of like the lady at the beginning of this clip...
