Rand Paul Airs His Grievances Against Government

Fans of Seinfeld are no doubt already aware that today, Dec. 23, is Festivus, the Frank Costanza-invented anti-consumerist counter-holiday celebration. Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances, in which participants let loose with all the faults they find in others:

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is apparently a Seinfeld fan, because he used his Twitter account Monday to air his grievances for 2014. It started out in lighthearted fashion, with the senator and likely presidential candidate poking fun at those who poke fun at his hair:

The hair is real & mine. Don't know why ur fascinated with it or compare it to alien life forms. #AiringOfGrievances pic.twitter.com/Vl5JvS2h2N

But then Paul let his libertarian streak take over, and the stream of tweets turned into an anti-government rant, centered around federal spending the good senator finds questionable:

Last one, because I could do this all day. Your government literally spent $10,000 to watch grass grow. #AiringOfGrievances

Really, senator? Even at the holidays, you can’t find something nice to say about government and its employees?
