Okay, everyone seems to be in the mood for it.

It's Ticked-Off Tuesday, ever'body!!

Yay!

Got a problem of a minor, yet highly annoying nature? Does it make you utter minor oaths under your breath? Are you looking for a place to vent?

Well, well, WELL! Have YOU come to the right place! Because here, on Tuesdays, you can take care of all those troublesome foibles of modern-day living by complaining vociferously about them in the comments below. Oh, sure, we might tease you for being so hypersensitive about quibbling trifles, but feel free to complain about that as well!

SO, what's got you so miffed? Just remember, this is a family blog, and so any uncouth language should be thoroughly euphemized to avoid having to place a nickle in the cuss jar.

Me?

Well, I tell you what, this article (thanks, Dr. Reynolds!) sorta makes me feel like maybe it's time to move the UN to someplace more amenable to the hearty, hard-working makeup of its leadership and management cadre. Maybe some place like the middle of the Gobi Desert. Or maybe one of those neato glass-enclosed sea-bottom lairs like you see in the James Bond movies. (Except without the glass enclosure.)

*@*%$&^$ed bunch of worthless devils.

I’m still not allowed to play until the prednisone levels start to drop. However, I’ve been ranting lately about the Episcopal churches leaving. That is their decision but it annoys me they get all biblical about homosexuality and women priests yet find the time to ignore divorce and the role of women in the family. Apparently issues like those aren’t universal just culturally determined.
Darn—now I’ve done it again and will have to sit in time out for being a bad boy.

The ol' "in for a pence, in for a pound" viewpoint, eh? That'll go over really well...

I know it’s uncharitable to think but I suspect many are playing at being very scriptural to get something they want.
Perhaps the whole exercise is to stick it to the church which has treated conservatives poorly for a long time. However, fighting years of smug self-righteousness with smug cloying self-righteousness is usually not the answer.

Then how do you explain Congress?

Which is worse church politics, real politics or academic politics?

I've got a Ticked-Off Tuesday rant for you. Its about rip-off software packaging and it has nothing to do with Microsoft! Let's see if I remember how to link it...
I hate Husqvarna!
