Settle Down, Metro. Have Some Pie

I really appreciate the fact that some of you (at least three, I think) take time from your lives to come and read this stuff.

Let's face it. I'm not the most insightful, nor the most interesting, nor even the most squidly blogger on the planet. There are lots of other sites to see and read.

But what I really appreciate is the comments. In particular the well-worded, respectful ones that tell me when I've perhaps, crossed the line.

M. G. EagLE's note that, like Neo, Metro should perhaps settle down and have some apple pie was a wonderfully coded message letting me know I'm being too crabby. True. Politics gets me that way sometimes, and politics of late has been ... uninspiring, to say the least.

I have to defend my outrage, I suppose. It seems like the only appropriate reaction. However, I realize the outrage has once again ballooned on this blog, as it does. It didn't help that I was over on Cliff Schecter's blog censuring a troll for incivility today.

So I'm going to try to ratchet it down again. At least until Bush does something equally mmmph mmph mmph.

Pauses. Removes hand from mouth.

Sorry ... almost lost it again there.

Let's talk about something else for a while, shall we?
