Base rage levels rising

[prog]

I don't feel angrier at the moment, but I know that the floor between the PIT OF RAGE and the EVERYTHING IS FINE AIRSPACE has been ticking upwards for the first time since the 2006 election results. I can't even look at the Google News front page any more. Listening to the daily NPR podcast is once again starting to turn me into an unhinged figure, muttering a stream of curses and making rude or threatening gestures at nobody visible, as I practice my own personal Two Minutes Hate session on my way to breakfast.

Mostly I just appreciate that one candidate got into hot water for "misspeaking" some shit they totally just made up (and getting away with it until someone found the relevant YouTube), and then the other one got laid into for "misspeaking" their actually rather defensible perception of the truth.

By "appreciate" I mean "urge to kill rising".

Update: Hey I can start using my Moonbat icon again yay.

It's been a painful time. It's interesting that the states that have NOT pushed their primaries forward are the ones that are the ones that are becoming 'oh so important' now.

Huh...

Well, good luck coping with it. I kind of just turn a blind eye to it now. I go for podcasts instead of all NPR on the commute now.

I've been trying to avoid news since the last thing I read was Romney's concession announcement that made me want to punch him in the face.
