No need to be sorry about it.

I've gone through various stages of outrage myself, over the last few years. During the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq and for quite awhile afterwards, I would have a phyisical reaction -- almost like hackles rising on a dog -- when I saw or heard Bush. Since that time, as more outrages and lies piled one atop another, I eventually reached a state of normalcy in which I could intellectualize the outrage without letting my emotions constantly flare up (though I still get pretty angry at times).

My biggest concern is that the outrages of this administration have achieved an acceptable normalcy in which the general public sees nothing amiss. The criminals in this White House keep moving the bar, and like the frog in a slowly heating pot of water the public doesn't realize they need to change this environment before it's too late.
