Don’t you hate practical jokers? Especially when you’re the victim?
I HATE MONDAY
Would it be fair to say I hate graffiti? Sometimes. But in the right place, I like it. Do you hate to see all the artwork on boxcars when you’re stopped by a lumbering freight train? Not me. Personally, I think railroad companies should encourage that. But if it’s in the wrong place, like an obscenity painted on a school …
I HATE MONDAY
Please give me a moment to get something off my chest. Am I the only one who thinks it’s ridiculous the way so many internet blogs post pictures of cute puppies etc to lure visitors to their otherwise lame sites? Here is my assurance to you that the Medical Examiner blog will never stoop to such depths. Believe me, we’re …
I Hate Monday
And you know what else I hate? Nationalism. I bet you do too. But If I use a related word and say I hate patriotism, I might have a few arguments on my hand. But in rebuttal I say this: nationalism and patriotism are among the most divisive and polarizing forces at work in the world. The same people who …
Thank you, Glynn Moore
…and Georgia Rep. Bill Hitchens. Why? For bringing attention to a pernicious plague upon our society: slow and/or habitual left lane drivers. Glynn Moore’s Augusta Chronicle column today is about this topic, and Rep. Hitchens’ proposed House Bill 459 to make it illegal to drive in the left lane except for overtaking and passing another vehicle or turning left. Law …
I Hate Monday
Drug abuse is a hateable thing, although I wouldn’t aim my guns at the users first. I realize there are people who stupidly try drugs once, a single time, perhaps out of curiosity, maybe yielding to peer pressure, wanting to look cool, maybe after a few drinks and so not really thinking clearly – and that’s it: meth and crack …
Want to get away?
Maybe escape to a tropical island in the middle of nowhere? Be careful what you wish for. Here’s a look at one two thousand miles from the nearest continent, inhabited by a mere 60 people (2009 Census). This relates to this week’s I Hate Monday and the PSA of the Week (both below). MIDWAY : trailer : a film by …
I HATE MONDAY
Let’s talk about something that’s absolutely hate-worthy: litter. Ever sit behind someone at a red light and watch them toss their trash out the window? What irresponsible behavior. Know what’s thrown out most often? The world’s most littered item? If the picture didn’t give it away, the answer is cigarette butts. TRILLIONS of them are carelessly tossed every year. Do …
I Hate Monday
I despise “the race card.” Playing it is despicable, at least in my book. But for some people, everything falls along racial lines. If that’s how you see the world then you, my friend, are a racist. Every time I hear or read that “Augusta commissioners voted along racial lines,” I think, really? THAT was a racial issue? It wasn’t …
I LOVE MONDAY!
That’s right. Love, not hate. So if you came here looking for the weekly I Hate Monday post, you’ll have to wait. It will be back next Monday. In the meantime, epic news! If you’ll indulge me for a moment, I have a bit of personal news: the arrival this morning at University Hospital of my latest grandchild. Not that …
