Former slogan-bearer for Blogging Out Loud, since deposed by the venerable Sue Simmons. 

There’s always a lot of shit happening in the world, so let’s vent a little. 

• Some can’t see that Edwards’ endorsement of Obama is a big deal, focusing instead on the fact that Elizabeth wasn’t there to give her blessing.  As Cindy McCain said regarding the non-release of her tax returns:  she ain’t running for nothin’, people, so just get over it.  Last I checked, John ain’t running for nothin’ either (yet), but he still carries some clout somewhere.  Go on, be happy. I dare you. 

• Speaking of Cindy, now that we got a small glimpse into her vast holdings (hint: she has more money than you), expect more of this mess to trickle out until there’s a big document dump of her finances on the Friday before Memorial Day (or Labor Day).  It’s hard being a candidates’ spouse.  Makes my heart hurt. 

• Tony Blair’s wife (who didn’t vote for Bush, either), says she and Tony’s “hearts sank” when Bush was “elected” back in ‘00.  True as that may be, it didn’t stop them from jumping into Bush’s lap and on to the “Invade Iraq” bandwagon, did it? 

• The Dems rack up another win (MSNBC calls it bigger than West Virginia).  Republicans on the Hill were heard in closed-door session singing Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddam” over and over.  Let it all out, my friends. 

• One place where frustrations have been vented a little too much is Austria.  Not only do they have sickos imprisoning their offspring in basements so they can father children with them, now they’ve got a new Lizzie Borden to deal with.  WTF? 

• Star Jones’ soon-to-be-ex Al Reynolds let out some of his frustrations over the lack of R-E-S-P-E-C-T he’s received from, well, everyone.  I say “some” of his frustrations, since he’s got to save something for his undoubtedly soon-to-be-penned tell-all book.  Take that, all you haters. 

• Finally, if your children are a little TMTH, why not trade them in for an improved model?  Beats locking them in the basement and fucking them, I guess. 

In light of all this, that’s why Gawker’s “Top Ten Angry On-Camera Meltdowns” is one of the most important videos you’ll watch today.  Venting your frustrations to total strangers is a good thing, doncha think?  Sue Simmons is my new hero, as I’ve found myself shouting “What the FUCK are you doing?” many times in the last day or so (even to myself).
