Pointless post #349

For some reason, I seem to get most inspired by irritation. So, here's a list of things that have been irritating me lately -- and my thoughts about them.

People on American Idol that say they're 'unique.' Really? We're all unique. Unique doesn't sell records. Good sells records. You're not good. You suck. Go home and get a job.

Anyone voting for the non-binding resolution against the troop build up in Iraq. Non-binding resolution? Whew, don't strain yourself on that one. If you're really against it, why not balls up and vote to cut off funding for it? Don't want to deal with the political consequences? Wow. Your constituents must be proud.

People who don't say 'Bye' or something similar at the end of a conversation. Dunno why. Just irks me. Seems impolite.

People who insist on saying Iraq is like Vietnam. Read a history book. The only thing similar is the hostile media and extreme left who seem to have a vested interest in our failure.

Uninformed people in general. I was trying to have a discussion with a person who believed that the American government executed Saddam Hussein for his involvement in 9/11. I don't even know where to begin correcting that. This person also was seemingly unaware that we toppled the Afghan government shortly after 9/11. What's the point of being literate if you don't read?

Hi||ary C|inton's presidential announcement. Seriously, I threw up in my mouth a little. "Let's chat"? Yes, let's. Is that really how you would run the presidency? Iran and North Korea are threatening with nuclear weapons, and you want to chat? Spare me. You want to chat, go on Opr@h. You want to lead the free world, better man up. Figuratively speaking, of course.

People making a big deal about the fact that both Super Bowl head coaches are black. If I was either of those coaches, I would be incredibly offended. What, is it that unbelievable that a black man could coach a football team to the Super Bowl?

That's all for now. But tomorrow's Monday, so I'm sure there will be plenty more things to irritate me.
