Lots o' things that piss sycamore off...

--Philadelphia drivers: Notorious for jumping lights before they turn green. It's like Jesus Christ! Fucking control yourself, dickless! I so hope the red light cameras are approved in Pennsylvania...I will rub my hands with glee when I see stupid oxygen-wasting FUCKS see their car insurance rates shoot into the stratosphere. A yellow light means caution, slow down, not accelerate, DAMNIT!

--Washington, DC (particularly Beltway) drivers: Yeah, let's whiz around the curves near Silver Spring at, say, 90 miles an hour during a Monday night rush hour. Better yet, let's weave in and out of lanes like we're sewing a big ol' American flag. Oh, and let's not forget driving down Michigan Ave. NE, near Catholic U., at 60 miles an hour...in a 25 mph zone, again, weaving in and out of lanes. God, I fucking HATE Washington, DC.

--People who will not donate their organs, and have no religious reason for doing so: Hey, my gf desperately needs a new kidney. They're getting ready to put her on the UNOS(?) list. You can't take it with you!

--The newfound patriotism: Thank God I don't live with my parents anymore. My stepfather (a Vietnam vet) and I probably would have killed each other by now. You wanna fly an American flag? Great! Set it on fire? Okay. Wipe your ass with it? Why not? Just don't give me a hard time for not waving one.

Maggie, funny you brought up McGreevey...

First off, no one in New Jersey should be allowed to carry concealed weapons unless they're policemen. New Jerseyans have not proven themselves intelligent enough to be able to do this properly, much like my home state of Missouri (which voted against repealing the concealed weapons ban 2 years ago, thanks to the heavy "no" vote in St. Louis City and County).

That aside, the Dems should be able to take back Trenton with relative ease...McGreevey has a sizable lead. But what I find amusing are all the ads for Senate and Assembly candidates. So much for being nice to each other after 9/11. They are quite frankly both the most vicious and funniest political ads I have ever seen in my life.

My personal faves include:

--The attack ads against Steve Sweeney ("Dishonest? Or incompetent? You shouldn't have to wonder!")
--The attack ads against Sherri Jenkins (How she was sued by UPenn Hospital and the State of New Jersey...and how she supports Brett Schundler...an "extremist.")
--The assault against the Republicans being in Trenton for 8 years (higher property taxes, higher car insurance, toxic waste sites, etc.)

What, 5 more days?
