Talk about bad timing. I'm in one of the most bitter moods I can ever remember happening, and then ... well, if you've had the news on, you know.
I have Microsoft Word open right now, with the template for my Backwash column loaded up. Even two or three sentences in, I'm finding myself dropping f-bombs left and right, and the graphical descriptions I'm got in my mind for later in the column would make anyone wince.
I'm torn, though. On the one hand, I really want to pick a fight with anyone who would even try to defend the legacy of this nation's 40th President, and I am certainly not above hitting them hard when their hero just kicked the bucket. I don't mind making myself the target of every right-wing nutjob in this country. On the other hand, if I write this column right now, I will take things to such an extreme that I could seriously jeopardize my standing at Backwash, and likely get myself into some real deep shit legally.
But at least I'm trying to write again, right?
