List of Grievances
1. The state of America’s mental health care system. No cash money? Then it’s the detox/schizophrenic ward for you. This is what your insurance will pay for. Sorry for all the screaming in the middle of the night. ;)
2. The choking enormity of Depakote pills. Seriously, have you seen the size of the new Bluetooths? And you can’t make the pills smaller?
3. The chaotic...

Meaninglessness Around Bears
I crush plants with bare feet, am an obscurer of objects and definition. I thought I was not alone, Naree Pons protecting me. This begs for credence.

List of Grievances by Margaret
1. I need a new house: This one’s dirty. 2. I need a new copy of Silver Palate Cookbook: This one’s dirty. 3. I need a new job: This one’s dirty. 4. I need a new candidate: This one’s dirty. 5. I need a new mind: This one’s dirty.
Life Aquatic
Steve Zissou: Nobody knows what’s going to happen. And then we film it. That’s the whole concept.
This Rapture is crap because:
-Tornadoes are a bullshit excuse to get people to convert. -Polar bears didn’t do anything wrong. Why should they be punished? -Christians don’t need another excuse to run up credit card debt. -The revolution will not be televised. AND Whitey’s on the moon. -Few of you troglodytes have realized that NO one wants to be stuck for eternity with sanctimonious bastards. Even...

List of Grievances
1. Jeff Koons, always and forever. But especially now and especially for this. 2. All the things I miss now that I’m poor. And being poor. 3. The medical community who thinks it’s okay to perform surgery WITHOUT properly prepping the area (read: shave), then apply layers upon layers of of a variety adhesive tapes with the possibility of some kind of suture...

No, no, no, no, NO!
I never said I “liked” Howard Stern. I SAID, I admire anyone who builds a multi-million dollar industry on acting like a 13-year-old without parents. Along with that distinction comes the oppressive task of living with yourself when you’ve made more than a living acting like a pubescent child. Unless, of course, and only his therapist can attest to this,...

List of Grievances 1. Sarah Palin, who may take the title of funniest American woman away from Lucille Ball. Any day now. 2. BBC America, for making more Gordon Ramsay spin-offs than I can possibly watch. God, I love it when he screams profanities at idiots. 3. The Eagles. And football. 4. States that have concealed gun carry permits. I never know who not to stand next to. 5. iPods,...

Train Wreck Scott holds her at arm’s length, making a face. All bones, exposed skin, post blood transfusion, deep in congestive heart failure. Here. Pill her twice a day. Pick off the scabs so the abscesses can drain. The doctors give her 3 or 4 weeks, generously. It’s not her fault her heart is broken. Kittens can’t be blamed. Inspecting her for anything to like,...
