(no subject)

I feel belligerent enough and the whole "are you better off?" topic promoted on Twitter brings up the answer, why yes. Yes I am. We are still in a recession and things still are crappy and I'm still not happy with the president - but I'll take "disappointed every month" over the "enraged at least once every week" I got during the Bush years.

Also, this five alarm fire burning out of control? Obama may be blamed for being able to bring a single fire engine, but that doesn't make him the arsonist.

Last, just because I'm not happy with Barry's take on personal liberties, on militarism, his better-than-nothing healthcare plan, and his tepid environmental policy, does not mean that I want to vote for these vicious fuckers and make the problem far, far worse.
