RE: A bit of a mea culpa

My dear Professor,

I may have been a bit harsh.

If so, and I will wait for the consensus of opinion to form, I will issue a formal modern American Liberal apology. Since everything is relative, I hereby conditionally apologize to anyone, anywhere, who was offended anytime by what I wrote or didn’t write, said or didn’t say, thought or didn’t think, did or didn’t do. Malum per se doesn’t count. I am sorry only to the degree that you have been offended by any or all of the above.

Got it?

My making mock of your agoraphobia and how it caused you to miss a seminal moment in American History is like blaming a dwarf for being short.

For this, I apologize, sort of. If you are OK with your shortcomings who the Hell am I to say nay?

Two things more.

#1 – Wal-Mart, the unfeeling profit monger from Bentonville, the oppressor of the poor and how cruel can they by cutting the price of prescription drugs by 98% thereby condemning the poor to monthly fits of angst et agida caused by their lack of conspicuous consumption, the company that turned to the Dark Side when Hillary Clinton, after a successful career in land development [White Water, remember?] and commodities trading [Broker Red Bone, remember?] left their Board, that Wal-Mart, has donated $400,000 to an out-reach reach out group dedicated to get unemployed, middle aged transgendered mid-level professionals back in the job force, [That the long awaited, much anticipated Summer[s] of Recovery never reached them is a matter for a different time. I suspect the Koch Brothers have a hand in it.] Whether they do this by hormone treatment or new shoes is irrelevant.

What’s important is that they care, they really, really care.

#2 – With regards to my listing of the failure of modern American Liberals to remove the beam from its eye in re the sad, sorry saga of the Democratic Party I must add the following:

Governor Spitzer
Congressman Weiner
Senator Edwards
Mayor Filner

What do they have in common?

#1 - They are the shock troops, the first ones over the top with the cry of “Bayonets Only” as their only instruction, the sharp end of the spear, so to speak, in the Democratic Party War on Women.

#2 – They are all Democrats.

As an aside, since “anticipation is the greater joy”, we can just wonder with great expectation for the ascension of Queen Empress Hillary the Frump to the Oval Office as partial reparations for her being the poster girl of abused public wives to see how long it takes for her to get some barely past teen age years, six-packed abs, glistening pecs, with humongous guns, buffed boy toys into said Oval Office so they can have a “bit of the gobble”. Once they pass the test of being able to lizard tongue a fly at 2 feet their instructions will simple. “Cover her in flour and aim for the wet spot.”
