If Your Not Outraged...Summer Edition

You know that bumper sticker that reads, "If You're Not Outraged, You're Not Paying Attention" or something to that effect, well, I should be feeling it after five years of Bush and Repug Rule, but, you know, something about summertime just neuters outrage. The weather is great, the days are long and, yes, the Bushies are still pillaging and looting the country and selling it off to the richest rich. They're still dismantling important regulations, allowing the polluters to pollute more, cutting good programs to ever pump up Iraq, nominating nutty conservatives, using public funds to preach their Social Security sermon to hand selected Kool Aid Bushies, screaming that marriage is only for God's straight people, and on and on and fucking on. But it's summer and I'm just not in the mood to be outraged. Oh, I know that this country will be unrecognizable after eight years of Bush, I've known it from the start, but can I wait until autumn for my redeployment?
