In no particular order:
1. The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Oakland Athletics, Anaheim Angels, St. Louis Rams -- basically teams with obnoxious fans, who've won too much, or have beaten my favorite teams.
2. Raining in winter -- damnit, it is winter and I want snow, plenty of snow.
3. Neocons -- specifically, those who still are neocons these days and don't want to join the military. It's very easy to throw our soldiers' lives away when an ocean separates you from the fighting.
4. The fact that most of the members of Congress know jacksh**t about the Constitution.
5. People like Al Gore. In one month his house uses twice as much energy as an average American's home uses in an entire year, and he's telling me I'm being wasteful and need to cut back.
No doubt my cynicism influenced some of my choices, but hey, I've been in a cynical mood for a while.
