Un-PC observations

1) The cuteness of a person's child is inversely proportional to the number of pictures that person will show of said child. If someone's kid looks like a the illicit love child of an alien and a bulldog, guaranteed, you've been subjected to 100 pictures of him within the past day or so. If the kid is adorable, his mommy and daddy probably haven't shown you a picture of him in a week, and when they do, there's some significance to it.

2) Passive-aggressive people come from Wisconsin. OK, they come from other places, too, but EVERY person I've ever met from Wisconsin is a total passive-aggressive ass.

3) Every one of my friends is annoying me with their constant posturing when it comes to their stance on the Obama issue. I don't agree with a lot of what this man has done in office, but at least he doesn't have a face that's just begging to be punched like George W does, and at least he's not trying to get us all killed like George W seemed to be set on, too! He's better than what we used to have. No, friends, I don't "love when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is president", but I also don't think his name stands for "One Big Ass Mistake America". I hope to see, in my lifetime, a day when we'll elect some dude or dudette to the White House, and then won't have to hear CONSTANTLY about how great or crappy a thing that was to do, every single day for the next four years.

4) The worse someone is at car seat use, the more pictures they take of their kid in the car seat. It's like, no, that's NOT a cute picture. That's evidence of your haphazard "I don't give a shit" parenting. Your kid is gonna fly out the window and die if you hit the curb, far less another car! How stupid do you have to be to actually think that straps gapping loose at the shoulders, and a chest clip at buckle-level is actually going to restrain ANYTHING against an impact? The reason car seat Nazis like me show pics of our kids in car seats is because SOMEBODY'S got to show the right way to do it. Car seat misusers never get the point until their kids become a statistic. (No shit. Swedes use their car seats approximately the way I use mine. 14 kids die each year in Sweden in car accidents, and nobody else generally survives those particular accidents either. In the US, over 2000 kids die in car accidents every year. 700 A DAY are severely injured. Using car seats PROPERLY would cut these numbers down to a small fraction of what they are.)

5) The less someone knows on a subject, the more they'll argue with you about it.
