Mr. Schultz,

A big fat juicy target, akin to Keats’s “new planet swimming into view”, has precluded my response to your weekly quasi-screed that is, as usual, a POO [Perpetually Outraged and Offended] lamentation concentrating on what rat bastards those Republicans are.

Anytime someone like Mark Reynolds shows up with a “Please Kick Me Before I Do It Again” billboard around his torso, well, attention must be paid. God’s Holy Trousers, but he is something. I hope he becomes a regular. He’s better than Viagra.

But I haven’t forgotten you: 2 things.

#1 -You say that a Rick Scott ad would have been better if he had told the truth. Would you care to comment on 3 ads in 48 years – 1916, 1940, & 1964 – by 3 different   Presidents – Wilson, Roosevelt, & Johnson – all of whom happened to have been Democrats, that they would not send American boys to fight in foreign wars?

#2 – “Losing a job can push people into poverty.” Ya think? Move over Trollope. How about “Rain will wet you”? Or “Snow is cold”? “Fire burns”? The possibilities are endless. Stones are hard; water is wet?

Pop quiz. Should the Governor order a special prosecutor to look into Gillum’s graft and bribery ties? Also, should he be elected, will he adopt the traditional Cuban model, with a bow to Bulgaria, road to Socialism or the more Millennial oriented Venezuelan template with a bow to Zimbabwe AKA, Shining Path to Scientific Socialism?

It seems to me that more than a century after the USSR stopped exporting wheat and 60 years after the Castros took over the casinos and 20 years after Chavez repealed all the laws governing gravity, Socialists world-wide have the same 3 insurmountable problems: A – Breakfast B – Lunch – Dinner.

Get back to me when UBER figures out where Utopia is and will I finally get to cross the horizon to get to it.
