Psalm Number 151

Trend alert! Apparently "resigned" is the new "outraged." (Recommended: Saving your outrage for the oppression of the Young White Privileged Male as Literary Subject Matter. Related: YM boys: Think we can drum up a casual pick-up game?)

Sorry, but it's just really easy for me to be angry these days, and not just because Denton's late sending out the 1099s this year (AGAIN). I feel as though some vestigial odor of Gauloises and patchouli comes wafting out of my pores when I write about shit like this, but whatever. Consider it the result of this Perfect Shit Storm of the Bell trial verdict and reading both Dark Alliance by Gary Webb (more on that here) and Body of Secrets by James Bamford (read an excerpt here, and yes I know these secondary links bear the crinkle of tinfoil hats but what do you expect from me). Oh, and also a friend of mine just got confirmation (after she filed an NSA FOIA request) that she is not paranoid and is, in fact, being monitored by the government because of some "antiestablishment" activities.

Don't worry, on Monday I'll go back to being irritated about Sloane Crosley or something. I'm sure this is nothing a few Pimm's Cups on my yacht can't cure.
