Pet Peeves

I have two pet peeves to address. The first are reporters like this:

Our Chicago contributors and readers have discussed this ad nauseum, but please. We live in northern Illinois (or as above, in Pittsfield, MA). It gets cold. It snows. Cold and snow ARE NOT NEWS!

The second pet peeve is this guy:

Go away. Just go away.

Envision a high school history class sometime 50 years from now. (Assume for the moment that they aren't using Genesis as a text--admittedly a stretch--but work with me.)

Surely, they will be discussing the darkest time in our nation's history and the man who will be universally acknowledged by then as the Worst President Ever.

Doesn't the first question from a bright kid in the front row have to be, "so, if this guy was that bad, how pathetic was the guy who lost to him in 2004?"

Hopefully, 50 years from now, the teacher will have an answer to that question. Right now, after 13 months of thinking about it, I still don't have the words to describe a loser of that magnitude.
