Welcome!
I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite
(imaginary) friends.
Meet Don.
Today, Don is going to visit TTYOT.
TTYOT stands for ‘Train the Youth of Today.’
(And yes, that’s imaginary too. But
who cares. It still counts.)
TTYOT (Train the Youth of Today) is a
political organization committed to feeding the minds and bodies of
our floundering youth.
Let's listen in on Don and the eminent
youth trainer from TTYOT.
TTYOT counselor: Welcome, Don.
You are our first trainee. We at TTYOT believe in feeding both the MINDS
and the BODIES of our floundering youth.
Don: Just
so you know, I don’t do Peanut Butter and Jelly.
TTYOT counselor: Don, FIRST we feed your mind, THEN we feed
your body.
Don: I
like roast beef.
TTYOT counselor: Don, focus! Today’s lesson is on being an ‘All around
better kind of person?
Don: I
like roast beef with hot sauce.
TTYOT counselor: DON!
FOCUS! Don’t you want to be an ‘All
around better kind of person?
Don: OK
…. shoot.
TTYOT counselor: Exactly!
Vote
Republican!
(silence …. more
silence….)
Don: You
mean give more billions to the billionaires?
TTYOT counselor: That’s only the FIRST step!
Don: But
….
TTYOT counselor: Then comes the TRICKLE down!
Don: BUT
….
TTYOT counselor: Remember that’s when you can try to EARN
IT BACK!
(silence …. more
silence …. shhhhhh …. Don is thinking!)
Don: BUT someone
shifted the TRICKLE!
MY TRICKLE IS HAPPENING ALL OVER CHINA!
(silence …. the TTYOT counselor
is counting to ten … 1 ... 2 … 3… 4 ...)
TTYOT counselor: Don! That is VERY bad
attitude!
The end.
OK, ok, ok …. I
happen to think that’s funny. (You are
certainly welcome to your own opinion.)
This morning I
needed a laugh … otherwise I would have started to cry.
The figures are
out. Romney raised $106,000,000 in June
alone.
That reads, One -
hundred - and - six - MILLION dollars in June alone.
That’s $35,000,000
more than Obama.
Just so we are
clear. That’s June ALONE.
According to the
experts Romney, will probably raise about twice as much as Obama by the time
this is done.
Mostly big donors
and Super PACs.
INSANITY reigns.
Romney’s folks are
saying, ‘the people have spoken’.
I say, ‘Say
WHAT??!!’
Oh, I hear Don
calling from down the hall,
Don: I said roast beef!
I don’t DO LIVERWURST!
November!
Be there.
If you are one of those fortunate people who happens to have friends,
invite them to BE THERE
right along with you.
(Oh and yes, getting ready right around now, may be a pretty good idea.)
Yours
truly, Bena
