Are you mad as hell?

[garybeck]

A little Friday afternoon therapy for those FED UP like me!

The classic "Mad as Hell" scene from the film Network, I just stumbled on it and had to share. It's amazing this was filmed in the 70s. Could easily be today. Howard Beale, will you please come back and save us!?

Bonus: Keith Olbermann channels Howard Beale (a bit blurry but funny):

1. Hell yes, I'm mad as hell!

I'm mad as hell that we have criminals in charge of our government, violating civil liberties, international law, etc. and setting up a unitary executive government.

I'm mad as hell that a nation which was set up to have checks and balances has no checks and balances, only a compliant/complicit Congress and Supreme Court.

I'm mad as hell that DLC, an organization which wants to undermine the party, has apparently succeeded in doing so. I'm mad as hell that anyone could actually support these vermin and that these supporters have the delusional audacity to think they can control how I vote!!

I'm mad as hell that the party nominee is determined after only a very few states hold their caucuses/primaries and that vote rigging continues unchecked.

I'm mad as hell that the MSM is now comparable to Pravda during the cold war and mad as hell that most people don't care enough about the country to find out what's going on, instead believing everything their teevees tell them.

I'm sad as hell to see what our country and our party (with notable exceptions) have become.

I try not to let the anger rule me. If I let it take over I think I would be screaming out the window like that movie.

turns on the station being sold to A-Rabs. I'd completely missed that.

9. Actually, how mad is hell anyway and why is it mad?

I'm really angry. Pissed off even, but I don't really know if I can equate my anger with hell, since I haven't been there yet. ;) :evilgrin:
