You're Goddamned right.
As long as there is at least one Goddamned Republican left somewhere in the world, I'm gonna be pissed.

All Republicans and not just baggers?

Prob. not good for your blood pressure.
I never get the results I'm looking for when I wade in angry. Feels good for a few seconds and pisses people off, but usually doesn't achieve much more than that.

It can also do lasting damage to relationships.

Back to the car decision - my sister had a Mini, says it was very reliable - it was the Cooper S and a stick, so that's out.
Guy that works for me has a Prius - I've driven it around - his family has 3 of them. It has all the personality of a cardboard box and no pickup, but I'm leaning that way because of mileage and Toyota reliability.
Drove a Fiat 500 the other day - fun and the size I'd like for downtown, but at highway speed on the bridges it feels flimsy and almost cringes when a semi rolls by.
I rented a Ford Focus hatchback a while back and liked it - going to check out the Fiesta, too.

You still haven't tried the best of the bunch.

A Mazda3 isn't exactly big. Excellent mileage though, along with decent performance and handling.

It's the only way you're going to avoid a car that "feels flimsy and almost cringes when a semi rolls by".
