Snark--In no particular order
Oct. 14th, 2011 11:47 am Dear Lindsey L: I have a solution to your problems. Go to jail. For a couple of years. Hey, it worked wonders for Robert Downey, Jr.
Dear Occupiers: Camping out has only just so much utility. Screaming "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!" has extremely limited functionality. Kindly get an action plan together that has a shot in hell of doing more than expressing your "rage against the machine," or go home and stop littering the parks. KK, Meirwen
Dear Jackie Chan: Shilling for McDonald's? Really? REALLY? *sigh*
Dear Republican Flavor-of-the-week: Winning the Republican Primary may be possible by appealing to the extreme edges of the party, but winning the national election requires offering something for the vast part of the American population that resides in the Center. I encourage you to keep on with the histrionic rhetoric and half-baked positions. Even 4 years of Obama or Romney looks good in comparison to you.
Dear Electorate: Remind them that you are all part of the constituency, not just the interest groups currently acting like the tail wagging the dog. And tell them what you want. Rationally. With some degree of thought about the consequences of what you're asking for. If you ask for idiocy, that's what you'll get. Oh, wait. You did, and that's what we have. You get what you ask for, I guess.
Dear Self: Stop with the helium hand. Now. *Ooops* Too late.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
