Two things in the news that are making me angry.

The incumbent republican senator Saxby Chambliss won reelection in Georgia over the democratic challenger Jim Martin. I'm not mad that the republican won; I'm mad that only about half of the people in Georgia who voted on November 4th voted in this runoff election. It proves my opinion that many people simply do not give a shit about voting, but some of those people gave a shit about voting for Barack Obama.

Director Roman Polanski asks a judge in L.A to dismiss his case.
He raped a 13-year-old thirty years ago, fled the country to avoid going to prison (and hasn't been back since), and now he wants this judge to dismiss his case on a technicality. Disgusting.
