I kissed a girl.

It seems that every time I look up, or take my headphones from my ears, I hear someone, somewhere, saying SOMETHING about kissing a girl.  And let me say that I could care less if you kissed one girl or one billion girls.  I could care less if you liked kissing a girl.  I am sick of hearing about it!  The song isn't any good, the lyrics are no good, and Katy Perry is no good.  If I never hear this again, it'll be too soon.

But I've barely even started here; that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Casey Anthony.

I know I'm going to get lambasted for this one, but I for one am growing very weary hearing about Casey Anthony and Caylee Anthony every waking moment.  I think this was a very sad story, and I pray for their family.  But day in and day out...do I really have to hear every single second how Casey Anthony seems to be the perpetrator?  Do I really have to sit in front of the television, letting those insipid, scrawny little on-air personalities (Nancy Grace) argue with others so sophomorically for so long about nothing more than how they "think" that Casey Anthony might have killed her daughter?  (Like we didn't already know this.)

Twilight, the Jonas Brothers


Every year teenaged girls fall for the same predictable bullshit.  This year, it was the book Twilight and the Jonas Brothers.  I don't even need to talk about the latter, so I'll discuss the former.  Twilight was ridiculous, and the hype surrounding the book and the movie exacerbated this problem.  All over America, brainless teenagers (and some really, really smart teenaged girls who just got sucked in) fell for Twilight.  And talked my fucking head off about it.  And talked some more.  And talked some more.

When will you shut the fuck up about Twilight?  After this year, I want to rename twilight - you know, that period between dusk and darkness - to something else.  I cringe just hearing the word.

Maverick and Change.

I shouldn't even have to explain myself.  But I'm tired of Obama saying "CHANGE," and McCain calling himself a "MAVERICK."  Neither are true - Obama screwed up by getting Hillary Clinton, Timothy Geithner, and Rahm Immanuel; McCain disproved his "maverick" claim by voting with Bush 90% of the time.  (And that's without going into the whole shebang about how Obama and McCain voted together some 75% of the time.)

And finally, the biggest no-brainer ever:

ECONOMIC CRISIS.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand we're in the worst place we've been since the Great Depression, and that we're going to face another depression, and that all the money that's being printed will cause a Weimar Republic-styled bout of hyperinflation.  But every time I turn on the TV, I hear about this crisis.  And I wouldn't care if they told us the facts, but they're choosing to instill fear.  They're fearmongers, just like neocons and Weight Watchers.

You shouldn't be scared of anything.  If you have your weapons, your ammo, your gold and silver, your food, your water, your family, and your God, you'll be perfectly fine.  If you don't, you'll still be perfectly fine.  This country won't make it through this time, but I assure you that no matter what happens, we'll turn out alright.
