NPR’s Morning edition ran this article about the recently announced separation of Al and Tipper Gore. It rankles me that the article draws the conclusion that the dissolution of this 40 year marriage is somehow a “celebration for life.”
Holy Crap! What the hell is wrong with you, NPR? I can’t imagine how terrible a heartbreak it must be to discover after 40 years of a shared life that includes military service, a successful career in the legislature, the vice presidency, being robbed of the presidency, a Nobel prize, and many successful children; and a lifetime of triumph and tragedy; that Al and Tipper Gore have come to discover that the only feelings left are some combination of:
- infidelity
- resentment
- estrangement
Believe me. These are bad feelings.
You stupid are, NPR. Totally fucking stupid.
Ok… lyrics:
Don’t call me at work again (oh no)
The boss still hates me
And I’m just tired
And I don’t love you anymore
And there’s restaurant we should check out
Where the other nightmare people like to go
I meant nice people
Baby wait
I didn’t mean to say
Nightmare
...All my darkest hours talking like this...
