I’m Mad as Hell, and I’m. . . Just Gonna Write About It!

The “Scream” Tree

So for about the last 14 hours or so, all I’ve heard is crap. And I’m just so done. So, so done.

There comes a point where you start to wonder if there are any decent, reasonable people left in the world. If anyone’s thinking about their actions and how they’ll affect other people. Or if they’re just throwin’ it out there and seeing what’ll stick.

Anyway, if you don’t want to hear cussing and what most of you probably consider blasphemy, I’d quit reading here.

• I’m pissed at the drunk driver who killed JK Metzker, a local newscaster who a bunch of my friends know (because I used to be in the news, too). He had a wife and three little kids. And the driver just left him in the street like a dog. Worse than a dog. Decent people stop for dogs.

• I’m pissed at every moronic, bandwagon-jumping twit from Penn State who rioted because their beloved coach got fired for not turning in a rapist. You dumb-ass students are our future. Pull it together.

• I’m pissed at Penn State, the Catholic Church, and every other institution that’s covered up a rape or assault of any kind because they care more about the name that gets printed on some god damn letterhead than they do about people.

• I’m pissed at the Pope, who apparently thinks raping kids was normal back in his day. And it’s something that doesn’t even really fall into the “evil” category. I actually hope there is a god so he can do this guy up the ass when he meets him at the pearly gates. Then he can make a more “up-close and personal” decision about how evil it actually is (hey, I warned you about the blasphemy).

• I’m pissed that a 10-year-old girl in Mexico just had to have a C-section because she came into a hospital with life-threatening complications due to the fact that. . . she was pregnant and ten frickin’ years old! And young women can’t have abortions unless they can prove they were sexually assaulted! Or they can go to prison! I don’t even know where to start because there are so many parts of this story that are wrong!!!

• I’m pissed because in some states, felons apparently have an easier time regaining the right to own a firearm than they do the right to vote. Sometimes they don’t even have to do anything at all. Sometimes it’s just some paperwork. But hey, NRA, I’m glad you have that awesome philosophy that you’re constantly badgering us with about wanting to make sure only law-abiding people get to have guns. Clearly your lobbying efforts are skewing things in the right direction. Nice job. Because guns don’t kill people, and all that bullshit.

• And I’m pissed that there’s something terrible happening to my friend Kelly, and there’s nothing I can do to help.

Argh!!! This has just been the most frustrating day. I know — I know — that there are good things happening. I know there are good people out there. But being barraged by this many stand-out stories of pure, unadulterated insanity has just made me. . .  insane. And I didn’t even include Target deciding to open for Black Friday at midnight on Thanksgiving (not that it’s much worse than the idiots who opened their doors at 2 a.m. last year — Yay employees! Two more hours with family!). I’m already boycotting Walmart. Now where the hell am I supposed to shop?

Okay, I’m done (breathing in, breathing out). And I really do need to get out of here and go to Costco. I just hope they don’t do anything to piss me off or we really are going to have to start growing all our own food.

Sweet Jesus I love angry Tammy! I wholeheartedly concur with everything you've said – the things I know about, and the things I don't. I'm so sorry you're having a shitty time. If it helps, I am too. The world can be a shit place … but at least you and I are in it, making it that teensy bit better. x

Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Ya, ok. So….nuclear weapons don't kill people; nations kill people. So let's just arm every country and terrorist group with nuclear weapons, because what the hell… I hate the NRA, can you tell?

ginger November 14, 2011, 10:51 pm

Amen…and I'm worried about Kelly, too.

Kathy G November 14, 2011, 11:35 pm

I'm wound up too Tammy. Disgusted and frustrated and … Curse away and Amen to everything you said!!!! Love ya!

You bring up a good point. At least you're in the world, too.

I really do not understand the whole Penn State thing at freaking all. I could not live with myself if I did not stop that man from raping a boy, let alone work with him. Disgusting.

As for the 10 year old girl – that's just a giant WTF.

PartlySunny November 15, 2011, 1:08 am

You're totally right! That way every country can "walk into the bar" on equal footing. So they'll feel "safe." And no one will ever get drunk and fights will never break out. Cooler heads will always prevail and protect everyone.

Thanks Kath. Glad you still love me even though I'm a heathen. Love you, too.:)

I think the girl is what really sent me over the edge today. It's bad enough to rape a child. That is just disgusting beyond imagination. But then to make her have a baby? I just keep thinking about what I was doing — what I was like — when I was 10. It makes me want to vomit.

I tried to post a comment from my phone yesterday, but it just wouldn't work. Love you, my friend. xoxo

I have been in tears over what was done to these little boys. These little boys.

And the interview with him last night with Bob Costas: saying he only did "horseplay."

What kind of evilness is this? NO REMORSE??

NO REMORSE???

He is sicker than I can even imagine.

I think every one of those is worth being angry about.

I've been watching the Penn State stuff from afar (am in Australia) and it has been infuriating. I have had trouble wrapping my head around this. Around how MORE charges have not been laid. How more people have not been arrested. Do you not have a mandatory reporting system in the US for all teachers? How did that coach SEE it happening (Not Joe, the other one) and not legally HAVE to report it to the police?

And how can ANYone protest this and show their faces anywhere ever again? For standing up for this type of cover up?

I just can't believe the guy is dumb enough to keep giving interviews. If he stays out in public too much longer, someone's going to run him over with their car.

From what I understand, there are some sketchy laws in Pennsylvania about reporting abuse. And I think they're finding out that the D.A. also screwed up. And the police. It's just a culture of patheticness (I know that's not a word but it should be in this case).
