Dammit, dammit, dammit

Posted at 12:01 am by Jon Bauer, Herald staff

Damn fine idea: Carol Funkhouser, a cancer survivor and volunteer at Providence Research Center, makes Dammit Dolls as a fundraiser for Relay for Life. The idea, Funkhouser says, is to slam the doll against a table to vent your frustration.

Sounds like a good idea to us; grab your Dammit Doll as we review today's news:

Frustration No. 1: Oil company executives explained to a Senate committee on Wednesday why they're raking in record profits while Americans struggle to fill their tanks. The profits, said one oil company official, "must be viewed in the context of the massive scale of our industry."

Now, take your Dammit Doll and whack it against the massive backside of the nearest oil company exec.

Frustration No. 2: American Airlines says it plans to charge passengers $15 to check a piece of luggage.

We recommend packing your Dammit Doll in your carry-on bag. That's still free.

Frustration No. 3: In just their past two games, the Seattle Mariners have allowed 21 runs.

The Mariners' front office announced after last night's loss to Detroit that every home game for the rest of the season is Dammit Doll Night.
