I don’t like the fact that Barack Obama has hiked the deficit to $9 trillion.
And what the hell does it matter what the hell I like? Sometimes I don’t know what I find more annoying: the news or my annoyance with the news. Because it is the latter that triggers an annoying sense of obligation to say something.
The most annoying part is the way the constant annoyances trivialize the things that are annoying.

It’s like the old one about the frog in the pot.
Drop him in boiling water and he jumps out.
Turn the heat us slowly and he allows himself to be boiled to death.
I’ve heard it’s BS, but it’s a valid phenomenon. I can’t think of another analogy that fits as well.
Death by a thousand cuts is close, but that doesn’t convey the whole, “I can ignore it” bit.
Unfortunately, there’s not much to do except complain and wait for the election.
