Here I am, a happy camper.

President George W. Bush is almost out, and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are almost in. Oops, I forgot about Joe Biden. I like Joe. So, like, what am I complaining about now?

Well, like, I’m really not sure.

The new dudes taking office soon are, like, awesome, and the ones leaving are, like, history. Perhaps all I have left to complain about is, like, the economy, perhaps, or, like, the troops still in Iraq, and, like, hating the word “like.”

Kids, teens and junior adults, when they grow up, if they want to find a decent job, “like” isn’t going to cut it. It’s a word their mouths use to give their brains some thinking room. It proves to the people trying to hire them that they are, like, not truthful. If they want to sound like an idiot, they can continue using the word “like,” like it’s a brain cramp. Like, groovy, man. It’s a ’60s thing.

They should get over it. Get educated.
