Yet another letter to the editor; Yogi Berra would be proud

[Monkeyleg]

I think this one speaks for itself. Now I just need to figure out what he's saying.

DEBT LIMIT

Every part must work

Regarding the debt limit, the system fails if one of its parts fails. Every part must work together with every other part. Government is a major part of the system.

This is why one shouldn't write LTE after smoking some serious doobige.......

[makattak]

Holy crap, they published that?

That sounds like:

Uh... Okay. The Industrial Revolution to me is just like a story I know called "The Puppy Who Lost His Way." The world was changing, and the puppy was getting... bigger. So, you see, the puppy was like industry. In that, they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy was a dog. But the industry, my friends, that was a revolution.

I swear the JS editorial/opinion staff picked him for his brevity and the column-space needs that day. 

Although, in this tough economy, it's good to see someone employed, even if at a fortune cookie factory.

The proper response to the Letter would have been:

Mr. Pflaum, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

O'doyle rules!

It may be a matter of "we think Pflaum may be considering a run for local office at some point, so we're letting him destroy his credibility now."

Boy, am I glad I called -that- guy.
