bad does not equal evil

It’s important to remember, when you’re latching on and criticizing the man for the latest unpopular or controversial thing done by the Obama administration, that every president does bad things. No one can lead and be perpetually good and popular. We weren’t ashamed of Bush for doing bad things. We hated him for lying, deceiving, manipulating, obfuscating, and depriving. If the most awful thing we can say some day is that Obama made a decision we don’t agree with, then he’ll still go down on his worst day as a better leader and a better man than Bush ever was.

I felt kinda good about today. Was an overall positive day. And I felt like I accomplished something while working. And Refresh was entertaining, if not educational, tonight.
So it’s unfortunate when I got home that my email was clogged with messages from clients whining about a pile of petty little things. Doubly depressing when, after handling what I immediately could and filing anything undeserving of a response, I had only 1 email left. So not only did they piss on my mood, but it wasn’t in the least bit productive.
This calls for a photo collage. My recent favorites:

Bad Website Design Tip #134

If you’re gonna put a form on your web page that checks to see what people are entering in the fields, and won’t let them move on to the next field unless they complete the first one properly, then…
…give the user feedback as to what they’re doing wrong so they can fix it!
Or… you know…. tell them how to do it right in the first place.
Otherwise, they may spend valuable time cursing you, trying multiple web browsers, and calling you, all to figure out why the hell they can’t use your form.

You think your life is over. Well look around. You’re not the only one.

You’re allllllllllllllllllllll going to hell. And you’re dragging the rest of us with you.
You put the fucking Shrub back in office. Even if you accept every single conspiracy theory, that still means wayyyy too many of you voted for this … thing. He and his administration lie and mislead as a matter of course. In the last 2 weeks of the election alone there were at least a half-dozen major lies brought to light. When challenged, their only tactic has been to ruin the life and reputation of their accuser. Every major law or legal initiative they have championed has involved the reduction or elimination of some freedom, choice, or action. They have spent obscene amounts of money in creating the largest government bureaucracy since FDR. They’ve ignored their military commanders and committed troops to places no one wanted them. They took America from being the center of pity and warm feelings after 9/11, to being nearly universally dismissed and reviled.
They’re bad leaders. Their bad commanders. They’re bad republicans. And they’re bad men.
And you fucking voted for them.
