Snark: to annoy or irritate

"Snark" has been in English language dictionaries since at least 1906, and Lewis Carroll used the word to describe a mythological animal in his poem, The Hunting of the Snark (1874). Most recently, the word has come to characterize snappish, sarcastic, or mean-spirited comments or actions directed at those who annoy or irritate us.

At first, this blog was just going be a place to gripe, but because it's more satisfying to take action than it is to merely complain, now most of the posts/reposts suggest ways to get involved in solving problems.

Airline Pilots March on Wall Street

Now, where are the fire fighters, the nurses, the machinists, the teachers, the farmers, the secretaries, the rest of us?

Airplane pilots march on Wall Street

Hundreds of pilots from United/Continental 
showed up in full dress and made a show in 
support for their union during an ongoing labor 
dispute. They stood in an area on Broad 
Street, near Wall Street and the Stock 
Exchange.
