I'd be really interested in learning more.  I hate Bush.  I hate Chris Matthews and anyone associated with Fox.  I hate Klansmen.  I hate my governor...I think that's about it and I barely give those people a monthly thought.

Who exactly do I hate?  And what dig did I make against you?

Why thou hast blasphemed the name of Saint Hillary the Magnanimous, she who was immaculately conceived and is above reproach in all that she doth. Surely there can be nothing but hatred in the heart of one who fails to bow down before her exalted glory and receive the due benevolence of her predestined presidency.

Verily I say unto thee, thou art an hater.

What YOU need is a real drink.

But it's probably too early where you are.

I'm I just changed the clothes over in the washer after finishing up some over-convoluted invoices (Client changed the invoicing process and made it even more difficult.  It's almost like they're discouraging us from invoicing them!) and yelling at my kids to take a nap and I thought, "Man, I can use a beer.  Or a glass of wine."  Then I looked at the clock.  2:45.  Damn.  As my daughter informed me the other day, "Mommy, beer is evening drinks and wine is for when the kids go to bed drinks.  You drink water or juice when it's day?"
