Whiny Maggots.

Listening to the eleven o'clock news in the heart of Tea Party Land is bound to raise the blood pressure. Tonight's offensive news piece concerned Clermont County, where voters recently rejected levies that would have generated revenue for district schools. Said voters then went to the school boards to complain about the impending cuts that this voter rejection has resulted in. They apparently wanted to know how the district got so far behind in its finances.
Hearing that statement come out of the television, I suddenly found myself gripped by a horrible, pit-black rage. Then I was sputtering at the television: "Oh, I'm sorry, but the district didn't fall behind, you assholes! You voted against funding them! You just want teachers to teach your snot-nosed brats for free; that's what this is all about, isn't it?! Whiny FUCKING maggots!"
And then my mother was explaining to me in a soothing voice that I really couldn't expect much more from these people--they're Tea Partiers. And my blood pressure slowly began to inch its way back to normal.
This is why I don't watch TV.
