Other days, I all but dare them to hit me.  &#8220;Go ahead, ya bastid.  Hit me.  But you better kill me, or I&#8217;ll  pull your ass out of your car and tickle you &#8217;til you can&#8217;t breathe.&#8221;  Yesterday was one of the latter days, as I found myself in a bit of a foul mood &#8211; in spite of the rather exquisite weather we&#8217;ve been having.  Alas, nobody took me up on my dare.  <\/p>\n<p>Is anybody else tired of the whole health care reform bullshit? Oh, we&#8217;re gonna pass it.  Oh, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2010\/03\/11\/the-public-options-last-s_n_495383.html\">there&#8217;s one last chance for a public option<\/a>.  Oh, if Obama supports it, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/huff-tv\/arianna-if-obama-supports_b_495951.html\">it could pass<\/a>.  Oh, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/03\/12\/opinion\/12krugman.html?src=twt&#038;twt=NytimesKrugman\">Paul Krugman says reform will reduce the deficit and isn&#8217;t a government takeover<\/a> (no offense, Paul, but anybody with half a brain that&#8217;s been paying attention already knows that, and the Republicans and teabaggers really don&#8217;t care what liberal elitist smartypantses like you say).  Whatever.  Just shut up and do it, if you&#8217;re gonna do it.  Or shut up and don&#8217;t do it.  Either way, just shut up.  <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of HCR, <a href=\"http:\/\/tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com\/2010\/03\/reid-to-mcconnell-gopers-have-spent-the-past-year-misleading-the-public-on-hcr.php?ref=fpa\">Harry Reid has written Mitch McConnell a stern letter<\/a> about reform and the reconciliation process.  Nice letter.  I think ol&#8217; ferret face will be almost as moved as I was by it, immediately see the error of his ways, and offer to engage in a good old fashioned tickle fight with Democrats (all in good fun, of course).  Hopefully somebody will tickle Joe Lieberman with a brick. Look, Harry, again.  Just STFU and do it, if you&#8217;re gonna do it.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, time to get ready for you-know-what.  Hopefully today will be a better day than yesterday, as we head in to a 47 hour weekend.  This, of course, is the weekend where we all realize just how many goddamn clocks we have.  My car <strong><em>alone<\/em><\/strong> has two in it (three, if I have the GPS in it &#8211; but that one changes itself).  It typically takes me about 11 months to figure out how to change the clock on the car stereo (I just can&#8217;t bring myself to RTFM).  At least I&#8217;ll have a lot of free time this weekend, now that  I won&#8217;t be needing to watch any college basketball.<\/p>\n<p>Have fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some days, when walking from the car into the grocery store, I worry about whether or not one of the idiots who seem to feel compelled to drive 40 mph through the parking lot will run me over.
