Spread the word

I’m saying someone did.

neck and neck with Santorum.

between boredom and hunger.

brought me to the following. I had to share this advice meant for anyone who would date a girl…woman…goddess.

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books
instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she
has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants
to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will
always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly
looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly
cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird
chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book
shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages,
especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the
street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is
floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a
world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a
glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask
her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got
through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she
says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that
to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like
to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her
birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift
of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton,
Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love.
Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality
but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her
favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your
need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value,
nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads
up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things
will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can
begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to
have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read
understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the
Twilightseries.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up
at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup
of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but
she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters
in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert.
Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst
and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of
your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes.
She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan,
maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age
together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you
shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl
who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can
only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals,
then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds
beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

Fudd’s First Law of Opposition

I don’t often share those forwarded humorous emails that show up in everyone’s mailboxes, but I got this one and knew an entry under my “spread the word” goal is the place for it…

Every 14th of February men get the chance to display their fondness for their wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic.

Secretly…guys feel left out. That’s right…left out. There’s no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their lives. Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it. This is why a new holiday has been created.

March 20th is now officially “Steak, Blow Job & Shut the F@ck Up Day”.

Simple, effective and self-explanatory…this holiday has been created so the ladies can have a day to show their man just how much they love him. You may not have heard about it yet because Hallmark is not promoting it. No cards, no flowers, no flashy gifts, no special nights on the town. The name of the holiday explains it all…just a steak, a BJ, & shut your mouth for the rest of the day! That’s it!

This twin pairing of Valentine’s Day and Steak, Blow Job & Shut the F@ck Up Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It’s like a perpetual love machine.

The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.

The Bush Administration is the worst in the history of the United States. It has waged war on the American middle class, it has trampled on the Constitution, it has turned surplus into deficit, it has abandoned the moral high ground that we had occupied in international affairs for decades. The expression, “as American as apple pie” has been replaced with “as American as waterboarding.”

In 2006, the electorate sent a message that we are tired of politics as usual and want a change in Washington. We elected Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress. And what have we seen since then? Congressional cowardice—a complete lack of resolve to bite the bullet when necessary to effect a real change of direction. The Congressional approval rating of 22% reflects the Nation’s intense disappointment in our elected officials.

Do you feel the despair for this country that I do? If so, please consider this.

In the next election, do not vote for an incumbent.

Voting for an incumbent is like going back to the same dentist who pulled the wrong tooth the last time.

Voting for an incumbent is like going back inside the Port-A-Potti that was out of toilet paper last time you were there.

Voting for an incumbent is like re-marrying your former spouse even though s/he cheated on you the last time around.

Voting for an incumbent is like getting in a plane with a pilot who crashed his aircraft last time s/he went up.

Voting for the incumbent might mean that you need a change in your medications.

Voting for the incumbent is like taking your computer back to the same repair shop, even though last time they told you that your computer needed a lube and an oil change.

Voting for an incumbent is a vote for “staying the course”.

Voting for the incumbent means that you believe that things can never get any better. Is that what you believe?

I’m not suggesting that if the incumbent is a Democrat that you vote for a Republican. Or vice versa. We all know that if we do that, nothing really changes. Vote Green. Or vote Libertarian. Or vote Peace & Freedom, or American Independent. Vote anything but Democrat or Republican. Until we are willing to step outside the norms, and take a chance on electing someone else, we will continue to be held in the clutches of the two-party stranglehold that is American politics today. And nothing will change.

Voting for the incumbent signals the end of all hope for change.

Please, you need to get out more. It’s not fair that this poor girl is laboring under a misapprehension.

^{We now return you to our regular program.}

I’m serious. Please take the time to read this. Then forward it to your Congresssional representatives.
