Nukes, global warming, worst hurrican season yet, GMO's, processed foods, saturated fats, artificial sweeteners, high cholesterol, salmonella, West Nile Virus, EEE, fossil fuels, coal fired generation plants, SUV's.

I'm out. And preparing for the end.

Middle age. Of course, if I am really middle aged, I'll live a lot longer than I ever expected to live. I guess every cloud has a silver lining.

The unstoppable, monolithic assault by the Jewish Conspiracy on all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small.

Oh yeah, and separation panels in bathroom stalls that don't go all of the way to the floor. One can have the most unfortunate misunderstandings.

I assumed this was so obvious so as to not even have to be said, but thank you for reminding all of us once again of this perniscious force at work in the world.

Nope. Every silver lining may well have a nasty, vicious storm cloud attached to it.

Shoot, in all of my gloom about the impending doom it just slipped my mind. Not that it matters anyway, the end is near.

The economy sucks and we're all broke because of the unbelievably high gas prices and insurance rates. This country sucks and I can't wait to move to France.
