Rand Paul airs grievances on Twitter in celebration of Festivus

He might not be putting up a pole or participating in feats of strength, but Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky did get into the Festivus spirit by airing his grievances with Congress, parking in D.C. and a number of other topics during a pre-meditated Twitter rant on Monday.

In honor of Festivus, tomorrow I will be airing my grievances, mostly against Washington. Check back here in the morning.

Festivus is a fictional secular holiday that gained popularity after it was featured on Seinfeld.

"I've got a lot of problems with you people, and now you're going to hear about it!" (Frank Costanza, 1997).

Dec. 23 is the official date for the holiday.

Here he goes:

In Washington, "bipartisan deal" is a synonym for "increasing our debt"

Let's move on to the Senate. If you want more bipartisan cooperation, talk more not less.

Minor grievance: I can never remember when to move my car for DC street cleaning.

Fed policies make you poorer, and hurt the poor and middle class the most. Ridiculous monetary policies increase the costs of goods.

In response to some of your tweets, there will be no feats of strength, and I have no plans to end Festivus by wrestling with Senator Reid.

The Senate cafeteria never has burgoo.

Then Paul aired a grievance with Democratic N.J. Sen. Cory Booker.

One more Festivus grievance about bipartisanship. @CoryBooker doesn't RT me enough.
— Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) December 23, 2013

And Booker was quick to respond:

U, me & "feats of strength:" Senate floor, name the time MT @SenRandPaul A Festivus grievance re bipartisanship. Booker doesn't RT me enough
