Yes, it's Thanksgiving here in the states, and all this week I've been the unfortunate receipient of one sappy e-mail after another about things people are grateful for. Well, inspired by last night's episode of the brilliant The Daily Show, here is my list of things I'm not thankful for:
1) Thanksgiving: Yeah, that's right, THANKSGIVING. I have no idea why I should be so freakin grateful for spending a day-and-a-half shopping and preparing a grand feast for people that will spend a total of 10 minutes shoveling it down their throats, then clean everything up, when all I really want to do is join the guys watching football :ranting:
2) Assyrians who can't report accurate gossip: WHY would anyone call all their contacts and report that someone has died without verifying that information first?! Rather than wasting time calling all those people and scaring the bejeezus out of them, call the actual family first and see if it's true!
3) Swine flu vaccination: I'm not getting it and you can't make me :razz:
4) California state politicians: The only way these idiots could f-up this state any further would be to appoint 50 Cent the new governor. Lobotomized monkeys could do a better job at this point of managing this bankrupt, corrupt state.
5) SF 49ers: I'm tired of rooting for a losing team. Get a real quarterback to replace that useless Alex Smith, get some real running backs, and stop ruining my Sundays.
6) "Nationalist" Assyrians who support the KRG: It's simply unexplainable.
7) Sarah Palin: Holy overexposed hillbilly batman! Someone get this Wasilla simpleton off my tv screen and out of the public arena for good please. As much as I would LOVE to see a Palin/Prejean 2012 ticket, I just can't swallow the constant media coverage of this freak anymore.
8) Fearmongering: Terrorists!! Disease!! Gays!! OH MY GOD, they're all out to get us!!!!!!
9) Teabaggers: What an appropriate term for a bunch of racist, illiterate, Glenn Beck worshipping morons.
10) Starbucks: It's just coffee people.
