Here's a message for aspiring young comedy-writers: Be afraid! Be very afraid!
In the wake of a series of ultra-lavish fundraising events held in behalf of the No-Longer-So-Young Master Romney, opportunities to create new material may well become a bit scarce. I realize that such a statement may seem perverse, because one might reasonably assume that moments ripe for rapier-sharp satire would be abundant.
However, there's one minor obstacle to consider: the One-Hundredths-of-One-Percenters in attendance at these events appear to be writing their own material --- however unwittingly. Consider the following quotes:
Is there a VIP entrance? WE ARE VIP!!! ---and---
WE'VE got the message .... But my college kid, the babysitter, the nail ladies (!!!) .... everybody who's got the right to vote .... THEY don't underSTAND what's going on. I just think if you're lower income .... one, you're not EDucated; two, THEY don't underSTAND how the systems work, they don't underSTAND the impact.
So guys, you have a lot to contend with. These Self-Anointed Masters --- and Mistresses --- of Our Universe are not only hogging a major share of our nation's wealth, they're bogarting all the best lines as well.
Good luck!
Come on, "Toast Master" Romney and crew, I beg you--debate ME. I love winning debates, did so
ReplyDeleteformally, formerly. On an income of only $12,000 a year, I manage to read up on the latest developments in String Theory (Particle Physics,not violin making) listen to my Classical Music collection, and read my email subscription to a former IMF Chief Economist's weekly postings re: international macro/micro
economic news and views.
There ARE others like me out here! There are the
aware and alert among the poor and the rich,
but the Mittster and his supporters aren't in that positive cohort.
Remember in November!
Dan, Keep up the good work, this post was a good one!
