Cliché Corner

It's pick on PuffHo day, we guess. We can't help it if they just point their asses at us & wait to be kicked. Look at this atrocity. We understand that no one who types there is paid for their spew, but that doesn't mean Mme. Huffington can't let the typists borrow a comma (& apostrophe) or two.

Of course even these bits of madness cant [sic] be fully appreciated knowing this corner of the sublimely absurd is also doing things to not only threaten its enemies but attack them as well. I guess the only thing to do is just take it all as a metaphor for this era of politics.

However, before I try to cover this hallowed ground, I must acknowledge the current masters of getting laughs from political shenanigans.

Namely that as Billy Preston once sang a number of years ago that nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Of course this argument has a tad more substance than most of the criticisms from this group of right wing brain dead soulless politicians. Which I think has a nice ring to it for the Dems attack ads. As in, Don't vote for right wing brain dead soulless politicians because for one thing they cant add or subtract.

NO HE ISN'T!
Hokey Smokes, our original reaction was that this was the first draft of an average high school student's creative writing assignment. We then gave Mr. Pappalardo the benefit of the doubt; he might have accidentally hit send after blazing through a first draft (Really Tom, we know commas can be trouble, but "cant?"). It's still awful though.
