Glad, sad, mad, and bad.

To quote Howard Beale in Network, I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore.

There are way too many bad things going on these days. And other things making me sad, glad, and mad.

For example, these three things make me glad...the return of Scrubs, rents seem to be coming down, and Slumdog Millionare won the Golden Globe for best picture.

Three things that make me sad... Amy Winehouse, that No Child Left Behind isn't working better, and Gil Grissom leaving CSI.

Three things that make me mad...most reality television, the rise of Joe the not-plumber, and the dumbing down of America.

And three things that are just plain bad... suicide bombers, Bernie Madoff free on bail, and Roger Clemens in denial.
