Venting is marvelous and must be done from time to time but sarcasm and vitriol wear on a soul if they are taken to heart.<BR/><BR/>Also!<BR/><BR/>Please do not take this as a troll attempt but you should study writing! There is voice in your work but clumsy structure is getting in the way of that voice. This is regrettable.<BR/><BR/>I would like to suggest an exercise that helped me. Free yourself from the clumsy waterwings that are parenthesis. It will be more difficult to nest thoughts in this strange new non parenthetical world but your flow will improve for it! <BR/><BR/>As for chief jackass, I have nothing. His actions and thoughts speak for themselves. I fear that in a world that is increasingly hostile and insular xenophobia will become more pronounced. <BR/><BR/>Can you propose a solution?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16934989576336438523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-16428086649005054952008-07-25T18:01:00.000-04:002008-07-25T18:01:00.000-04:00As a Mexican-American, I'm highly offended by your...As a Mexican-American, I'm highly offended by your "busboy" stereotype.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221658823743570769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-61068480796332833872008-07-25T17:06:00.000-04:002008-07-25T17:06:00.000-04:00Oh, and the link is up. Sorry about that. The repo...Oh, and the link is up. Sorry about that. <BR/><BR/>The reporter makes a much more sympathetic case for the chief than I do. It does sound like a shitty job. The whole, "Sometimes life busting mexicans is so hard I have to seek solace in music" angle just bugged me. (second graf, still the intro, and a nicely worded kicker if it weren't so absurd). Then the last page, where they talked about the whispering, sent me over the edge. <BR/><BR/>Btw, M@, you have presented a classic false dilemma. Way to miss the point while still expressing disdain for an entire category of people. I'm kind of thinking, with all the Novak karmic retribution in the air, that you will likely be repaid in kind by a restaurant busboy with a similar disdain for wasps.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765709902686717379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-86159892608671390502008-07-25T16:47:00.000-04:002008-07-25T16:47:00.000-04:00I'm finding it difficult to get worked up about Bo...I'm finding it difficult to get worked up about Bob, probably because I too am a driver of very poor depth perception. <BR/><BR/>Although I hope to god I'd notice a person on my windshield.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765709902686717379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-79896639615362943722008-07-25T15:59:00.000-04:002008-07-25T15:59:00.000-04:00Bob Novak?Bob Novak?HRH King Friday XIII, Ret.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10906200050785557272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-89716882855355679332008-07-25T13:42:00.000-04:002008-07-25T13:42:00.000-04:00Prince William County ~= (or !=) Washington, DCPrince William County ~= (or !=) Washington, DCil rattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842283156419941386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1576071537577144362008-07-25T11:40:00.000-04:002008-07-25T11:40:00.000-04:00Huh?
