Blind and Dumb to Bush's Quasimodo humps and "Roger that" type responses to unseen debate coach
during his campaign against John Kerry, I for one, am just relieved that the media is all over Obama's use of a (gasp!) teleprompter.

No one could say they're asleep at the switch, no siree Bob. And they are always just looking out for us, aren't they? They always cut like a razor to the really important stuff that affects us all. Like using teleprompters. Like they do. Every day. All the time.

5. I loathe them ........
I'm old enough to remember Edward R. Murrow - I was little, but precocious - and I find this current bunch of "journalists" shameful frauds who should cough up their paychecks to charity every damn week. Incompetents at best, who haven't a clue as to what to do with this brilliant, articulate, graceful, take-no-prisoners President.

He's forcing them to work to rise up to his level. I doubt any of them can do it.

If you want a really lovely compilation of how bad this current crop of pretenders is, I highly recommend a book called "So Wrong For So Long," by Greg Mitchell, the editor of Editor and Publisher. He does a masterful job of showing how the media was in collusion with the White House to invade Iraq under false pretenses. It's a bracing and horrifying read, but a necessary one.

Did you see what Letterman did with this teleprompter nonsense?

7. Poor things. They just don't know how owned they are by Letterman, Huffington, youtube, etc.
It makes them look so, so . . . out of it. Like they are. Do they know everyone laughs at them? It's getting to be embarassing. Should we forward them links or something? Signed "just thought you'd want to know"?

8. I had a friend who was served
with divorce papers by her disgusting husband, who had moved to another state.

She wasn't surprised, since she knew what was coming, but she was a bit taken by surprise.

She sent him a postcard - to his office - so that it had to go through lots of hands (and eyes) before it reached him.

It read:

"Dear Larry,

I thought you should know that some asshole is sending legal documents through the mail and signing your name to them.

I hope you catch the sonofabitch."

Think something like that might enlighten them?

Naw. They are truly clueless. Plus, I'm enjoying watching them. Stupid really is entertaining ...............................

12. Similar story (true I swear it)
My friend got an anonymous letter in the mail ( with an obscure and far away postmark) that said "Your husband is having an affair with *******. We all know it and feel bad for you and thought you would like to know."

The letter named a co-worker of the husband and seemed to obviously to be generated within the workplace. My friend was very excited about the letter- "An anonymous letter! Accusing my husband of having an affair! When every single second of the poor guy's life is accounted for!"

Honestly, unless they were having 3 minute trysts under a desk, it just wasn't happening. She shared the letter with her husband -"Honey! Look at what we got!". He took it to work and posted it on the employee bulletin board with a note that said - "Thanks! My wife really enjoyed getting this." Which actually was true. As to the obscure postmark - some recognized it as being the place where a certain person had mentioned just recently that they had had missed the opportunity to go there gratis with a friend. Nailed.

14. Nailed, indeed ..........
Well done.

It takes a certain, and special, kind of person to pull that sort of crap. Ugly, and for what? I bet the sender had designs on the husband, or something equally twisted.

Good for the couple. It's lovely to see trust, real trust, in action..........
