I am really in the mood to rant tonight.

Seriously. I was walking home from work just a half hour ago and was day dreaming as usual. For some reason, I thought of the contemptible US Congressman from SC, Joe Wilson, who shouted, "You lie!" during Obama's State of the Union Address.

The more I thought about this, the angrier it made me, and I arrived home in an ugly mood. Really? Did somebody ACTUALLY call our FIRST African American President a LIAR during a State of the Union Address? I won't even bother to try to address any of the other blatantly disrespectful, racist lies, obfuscations, insinuations, gossip and/or innuendo.

Can ANYBODY imagine the reaction had somebody even hinted that Saint Ronnie was maybe, mmm not telling the ENTIRE truth about Iran Contra? Or maybe GWB had hmmm? Stolen the 2000 election? But calling them LIARS during a State of the Union address? What would have happened?

And let's not forget about the current abomination these fearless fuckheads have presented to lead our nation and represent all of us. I find it so offensive it is almost enough to make one vomit.

Okay, okay, you'll say. We ALL know this. But have all of you actually stopped for a WTF moment to think about how close we are coming to oblivion with our Great "Democratic Experiment"? I don't think it's hyperbole to say/write that these fuckers will bring down the entire country if they can.

I could just rant and rant and rant, but it would be to the choir. . . ! Whew. I feel better!
