What's Wrong with You People?
Topic: Ranting
The following is a judgemental, harsh editorial that was formed in my head last night during the consumption of copious amounts of beer at Rock Bottom Brewery with Pete.

1. I'm sorry, Bostonians, that you are mad at the "Red States" for re-electing Bush. Quit asking me what kind of back-woods, baby-making, religious-zealout idiots live in the midwest. Other areas are living a different way of life with their values. (*cough* moral living *cough* hard work *cough*) If it makes you feel any better, I didn't vote for Bush in the last election. I can tell you, however, that the midwest is sick of seeing federal tax dollars sucked away to the cities that obviously are NOT self-sustaining, nor fiscally responsible. (*cough* over-budget, leaking Big Dig *cough*) You want to re-write the constitution to fix the election, so a "Bush" can never win again? Be my guest. The "Red States" are busy re-writing it to eliminate gay marriage... You want my their laws off your body? Then get your laws out of my their wallet.

2. Athletes who use steroids: you should be ashamed of your cheating and poor role-model behavior. Sports fans who don't put their money where their mouth is: you should be more ashamed. You've propagated all this pressure to perform. If you don't like what is going on in professional sports, quit watching tv, stop buying licensed products. Write a letter to the companies who advertise during sporting events and who use professional athletes for endorsements. Show your children that you stand for something. Leave Congress out of this. Let's get them involved in something better like solving real problems like child poverty, crime rates, failing social security.

3. The OC, you've gone off the deep end (and you weren't far from it to begin with). I don't know if I can watch you anymore. I still can't get enough of Phantom Planet's "California", though.
