I just realized the reason that I am so angry lately. It's not the news about starting a war this is preemptive and counterproductive, or about betraying our best principles through detention and torture, or about a corrupt government and the corporate media that whispers about it instead of yelling about it.

No, it's about this damn rug right here. I look at it, and it is a thoroughly neutral kind of blue-gray, with long-neglected stains, and I just can't help but get angry! This rug is anything but optimistic - it is a defeatist, pessimistic rug, and it makes me angry!

Damn rug!
