Today's Pet Peeve

It is raining in New York today, and Base10 unfortunately was caught in a bit of the downpour. Base10 supposes that the Democrats will somehow blame Bush for the rain. Then again if it was sunny, they'd claim Bush policies are causing global warming and are in fact causing it not to rain.

Anyway, Base10's pet peeve today the use of oversized golf umpbrellas by pedestrians on our fair city's streets. People, get a clue! This is a very congested city. You do not need an umbrella that covers an entire square block. Once more, you endanger the safety of others. Base10 nearly got his eye taken out by one of these monstrosities! New Yorkers, stick with a Totes, okay.

This daily pet peeve should not distract from Base10's Peeve of the Month: the nomination of Bernard Kerik to Homeland Security Secretary. Morons appointed to high office always trump a little rain and oversized umbrellas.
