Bah.

Feeling down lately. Not on purpose, of course, it's just how I've been lately.

I think work has been getting me down more than usual.

Plus, I can't seem to bring myself to get worked up about California being mere days away from insolvency and the following interruption of services that are sure to bring rioting, looting, arson, destruction, death, etc, etc, whatever.

Or the fact that North Korea has been focused like a laser beam on picking a fight for the last 50 years, and has somehow determined that it is ready to kick the ass of the world's premier military superpower, headed by a man who... oh yeah... never mind then.

Or the fact that Obama and his handlers have legislation that will, in Obama's words, "necessarily cause energy prices to skyrocket ... [the energy industry] will pass that [cost] on to consumers." and they're trying to push it through with a battering ram.

Or that our president bitched about the deficit, then quadrupled it with new spending to save jobs that hasn't saved any jobs, while appointing czars who can't be checked or balanced by any other branch of government to lord over the glut of private companies the government socialized.

Or that nothing can be done about any of it because there is a deficiency of an intangible, immeasurable, unexplainable object called "political will;" which somehow has nothing to do with the people who initially elected these mentally divergent bed-wetters, and everything to do with who has the high score in the game of grab-ass going on in that Carnival Funhouse up on Capital Hill.

HEY! HEY, UP THERE! CAN YOU HEAR US DOWN HERE?! WE'RE LOSING OUR JOBS, LIFE SAVINGS, HOMES, HEALTH CARE, AND FUTURE, WHILE YOU FUCKERS ARE DICKING AROUND UP THERE!

THIS ISN'T A FUCKING GAME!

Well, that was cathartic. Maybe it isn't work.

I really need to get to the range.
