 I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

 We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be! And in our one small refuge from it all on Sunday afternoon, it is even worse. Three hours of pure torture.

 We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy.

 It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Let me sit down on Sunday afternoon and just relax have a few hours of the Bengals and escape from it all. Just leave us alone."

 Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.

 I want you to get mad!

I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to turn in your season tickets. I don't want you to write to your paper or blog, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the Bengals.

 All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.

 You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value! Give me my one small piece of happiness back on Sunday afternoon!"

 So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

 "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"

I am tired of 18 years of losing!! I am tired of botched draft picks, and excuses, and no emotion, and coaches and front office people who are trying to tell us they saw something different than what we watch every Sunday. Get up! Get mad!!! Boo these jerks!! Let them know how mad you are!!! Don't sit there on your hands and take it anymore!! Don't hide behind a paper bag and make it a joke!! It isn't funny damnit!! It is an embarrassment!! Tell them all on the streets and on the radio and, most importantly, at PBS...

 "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"
