Tired

I have an attitude problem. In part because I feel awful physically, but it’s deeper than that. I’m cynical, pessimistic, and more sarcastic than ever. In all honesty, I feel like issuing a hearty “eff you” to about half the people I encounter each day. Regardless of whether they really deserve it. They just get on my nerves.

And the news just makes it worse, which is why I’ve been avoiding it to some extent. After half an hour of it today, I feel like hitting something.

Starting with the PETA idiots, considering for one minute taking Michael Vick on as a spokesman. But then again, it’s actually rather fitting, considering how many animals PETA kills.

Bwahahaha!!! Thermagedden!

American feminists have clearly achieved all of their goals. Otherwise, why would they have moved on to advocate for another group? Not to mention having the spare time to criticize another woman for speaking her mind in public! Back in the kitchen, you dissenter!

These ugly shoes represent more than half of my mortgage payment this month. I don’t begrudge anyone their money. What ticks me off is when rich people act like being rich is a crime or a moral fault, then carry on blowing money on wildly expensive, useless crap like rich people tend to do. Pick a position and stick with it!!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Except, you know, those of us who said all along that these Bush Derangement Syndrome idiots would do anything, anything at all, to get even with him and everyone who worked for him for having the temerity to implement policies with which the left disagreed. John Hawkins is right – we need to start playing their game.

Abortion deaths ≠ deaths of innocents killed in war. What kind of moral imbecile do you have to be to not understand that? A baby killed by an abortion is purposely targeted for the express purpose of killing the baby. A child killed as collateral damage in a bombing has been unintentionally killed. If you can’t see the difference between those two scenarios, you, madam, are a jackass. Obviously, I agree with CS Lewis on this one:

The doctrine that war is always a greater evil seems to imply a materialist ethic, a belief that death and pain are the greatest evils. But I do not think they are. I think the suppression of a higher religion by a lower, or even a higher secular culture by a lower, a much greater evil. Nor am I greatly moved by the fact that many of the individuals we strike down in war are innocent. […] The question is whether war is the greatest evil in the world, so that any state of affairs which might result from submission is certainly preferable. And I do not see any really cogent arguments for that view.

The world is a fallen, imperfect place. Deal with it.
