“Because of YOU, I am pathetic.” The Blame Game

Ever heard this song by Kelly Clarkson? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-Om7UMSJc I'm well acquainted with it.  Very recently, I had a part-time job in a furniture store where the soundtrack included this heartfelt number.  And every time that sad, pathetic piano music started up, I wanted to run into the manager's office and kick the stereo.  Many... many …
