For the third consecutive year, I present my contrarian Thanksgiving week entry, listing in random order those things for which I'm not thankful. (If you want to catch up on the prior versions, see 2009 here and 2010 here.)
Republican presidential candidates stumping in Iowa, and their related advertising and robo-calls.
The cold and darkness. (To avoid confusion, here I’m referring to the weather, not the Republican presidential candidates again.)
The curerent state of the economy.
Any TV reality series based solely on cameras following people living their ‘normal’ lives. (I’m looking at you Kardashians, Duggars, teen moms, hoarders, and housewives)
Dreamers without pragmatism, a/k/a leaderless political movements. (Tea partiers and Occupiers, go away, your 15 minutes is up.)
Paying people to not work.
That the NBA lockout is keeping EJ, Kenny, and Charles off the air.
The politically far right and the politically far left.
Anyone who thinks insurance should be used as an investment vehicle.
Speaking when not speaking would have been just as good.
[This list gets longer every year. That's either a bad omen, or a sign that I'm quickly becoming a malevolent old man, or both.]
