Over at Blog on the Run there was a little spat in the comments for one of Lex’s posts about the whole Bush administration spying thing, and one commenter described himself as being in a "state of offpissment."  Maybe I’ve had my head in the sand, but that’s a new one for me and it has joined "constant state of perturbation" as the only two accurate descriptions of my emotional state since becoming a father of almost-teenagers.
