Angry Days 16-19

Hello People. Every day, in every way, people find a way to piss me off. That is why I began my quest to to share 100 days of angry. Let's continue, shall we?
#16 The Syracuse "news" paper, the Post Standard. First, they announce that they will only be delivering their little rag 3 days a week. Then they raise the price. NOW, they slip a little notification in the Sunday paper (page A4) informing us, their "loyal PS subscriber" that they will be putting out a very special Thanksgiving edition that, even though we didn't ask for it and, even though we never get a paper on Thursday, they will be delivering it to us and charging us $2.00. They go on to say that it won't change our bill. Oh no. They'll just eliminate one paper that we did order to make up the difference! Are you freaking kidding me? On what planet do you get to take my money for one thing and replace it with something YOU think I need? I don't want your freaking ad laden holiday edition. I want the freaking ad laden piece of crap I paid for! You really piss me off!
#17 The saga of Jon Gruber continues. You know Mr. Gruber, he's the "architect" of Obamacare who proudly announced that counted on the "stupidity" of the American voter to get it passed. First Nancy Pelosi proclaimed that she didn't even know who the guy was, until various videos of her praising him surfaced. Oh, that guy. Now, the President claimed Mr. Gruber was never even on the staff. Really, Mr. President? Can you then explain to me why we, the taxpayers, paid Mr. Gruber $400 Thousand dollars? Could you also explain why you put Mr. Gruber in one of your Obamacare ads explaining why this cluster f*@k was such a great idea? I didn't think so.
#18 Selective outrage. There is a growing backlash against actress Alyssa Milano for posting selfies of herself breastfeeding her baby. Oh, the humanity! How could she show such an outrageous display of motherhood? Shame on her, right? The fact that, just last week, pictures of Kim Kardashian's bare ass were everywhere, including the evening news, is irrelevant. Apparently that was "art". People, there are so many things in this world to get outraged over. Trust me, a mother breastfeeding her child is not one of them.
Here's a bonus one for you. #19 A handful of students at Syracuse University have been staging a "sit-in" at the school to protest perceived injustices. The University met with the students, heard their "demands" and made reasonable concessions. But, the 40 or so students, say they will continue their sit-in until all of their "needs" are met. Their needs, supplied to the University, were 43 pages long! Among them, they want Columbus Day changed on the University calendar to "Indigenous People Day".  Ok. Enough is enough. What you "need" aside from a dictionary, is to get up off your lazy asses and get back to class!
