There was some bullshit on my facebook news feed this morning. Obama supporters are apparently bitter, bitter people. It's pretty ugly, and furthermore political idolatry freaks me the fuck out. I for one kind of like the squinty faces they make when they have to swallow those sour grapes. Then they make stupid, unsupported arguments about Clinton ( Read more... )

Doing taxes makes me want to be very passive aggressive. Like, more than usual. There are so many opportunities for mischief! Mischief that can only end badly! But really, if I write the federal government a check for the silly amount of money I owe them, and write something arsey in the “for” field like ‘the global gag rule’ or ‘HR 847,’ do we ( Read more... )
