Woe is me…

jeremiad (jer·e·mi·ad): / jer uh MY uhd /
noun

(1) a lengthy, mournful complaint or prolonged lamentation
(2) an angry or cautionary tirade or harangue; a righteous prophecy of doom

[From French jérémiade from Jérémie meaning “Jeremiah,” from Latin Jeremias.  Used in reference to Jeremiah’s biblical book Lamentations.]

Usage: After New Orleans drowned under the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, I found it rather disgusting to listen to government bobbleheads regurgitate one jeremiad after another about why their overall response had been so lacking, each a percussive insult to those who had truly suffered during and after the storm—and those who still are suffering.
