McDonald's is the place for anger management issues. My favorite part is at the end after the whole incident, the employee serves the next customer as if nothing at all unusual has happened....WTF FilesVengeful Cynic2010-08-10T19:31:27-06:00The Family Shade

http://www.shadowcouncil.org/vengefulcynic/archives/006587.html
So, in somewhat less civilized times, pure and utter failure in military and executive endeavors was typically ended in a more abrupt and irrevocable sense. The Japanese and Romans had ritual suicide, the French had Madame Guillotine, the Chinese had...Life and TimesVengeful Cynic2010-05-18T19:41:00-06:00The Enemies He Keeps

"You'll know what's best for your own child." Really?! Because I keep hearing that from various self-help people and even from nurses at the hospital. Also pediatricians. Maybe I'm just a hair on the old-fashioned side, but am I the...Life and TimesVengeful Cynic2010-04-19T23:20:08-06:00My Money's Worth

You know how most people had at least the occasional meal of bologna sandwiches and Koolaid during the summer when they were kids? It's like the All-American lunch.

http://www.shadowcouncil.org/vengefulcynic/archives/006580.html
Upon further analysis and because Facebook comment threads suck, I thought I would do some further parsing of tangential things that keep coming up in relation to my thoughts on National Guilt: First off, no matter how many good things...WritingsVengeful Cynic2010-04-09T01:39:03-06:00National Guilt

The notion that I'm going to be a parent inside of the next 24 hours is truly terrifying. The introspection that it's given rise to is perhaps moreso. For better or worse, I'm probably not the best reflection of the...Pseudo-PhilosophyVengeful Cynic2010-03-24T23:21:05-06:00If Only We Were So Lucky
