I'm so tired of being angry and sickened all the time. I'm tired of being out of work because these assholes in congress won't do anything to help. I'm tired of assholes that are supposed to be on our side cutting the legs off of our message. I'm tired of the fucking dimwittedness and pigheadedness of the republicans passing as policy in the media and being taken seriously. I feel like my head is going to explode from the frustration and impotence.

I'm half ready to join the dark side and just take the money off the fools out there and stop giving a shit. I'm not sure if I should become a preacher or a pundit.

There are things I can do and there are things I can't do to change this. So that is where I am drawing the line.

I am now walking away from TV programs that do nothing to enlighten me, but only frustrate me. I am embracing things I can do to help, to mitigate, but not those that just make me more worried or desolate.

It's not the complete panacea but it's pretty good...

They are never not campaigning. As has been revealed, the 2012 presidential campaign began the day of Obama's inauguration.

So, we'd better damned not get tired of campaigning because the fucking Republicans never, ever get tired of it. They have been permanent campaign mode for years.

What we do about it is another question. But I would suggest that we take down their lies one-by-one, and meet them head on.

If they want a permanent, continuous campaign? So be it!
