Who's attention I seem to demand. Dear Mr. Gearino. Your columns are keeno! Please call me. I'm your Number 1 Fan. Here's one that keeps the profilers at FBI headquarters in Quantico up at night: I don't care. I don't care. It's your fault my life sucks. I don't care. My dog makes me do bad things. I like to watch stuff burn. I don't care. I don't care. Gearino rocks. He's mine! Stay away from him! I mean it! I don't care. This stuff is probably a little disjointed and off-the wall for Raleigh-Durham. I bet it'd play big in Purgatory though. There is an old blogger named Dan.
Who’s attention I seem to demand.
Dear Mr. Gearino.
Your columns are keeno!
Please call me. I’m your Number 1 Fan.

Here’s one that keeps the profilers at FBI headquarters in Quantico up at night:

I don’t care. I don’t care.
It’s your fault my life sucks. I don’t care.
My dog makes me do bad things.
I like to watch stuff burn.
I don’t care. I don’t care.
Gearino rocks.
He’s mine! Stay away from him!
I mean it!
I don’t care.

This stuff is probably a little disjointed and off-the wall for Raleigh-Durham. I bet it’d play big in Purgatory though.

But you know what they say, people who send letters to the editor (or call in to their local talk radio show) represent the lunatic fringe. We (I mean "They") are compelled to share their enlightened perspective on the subject of the day whether anybody wants to hear it or not. Maybe it's lonliness and desperation. That's freaking sad. Hell, if your kids or spouse ignore you, and the bank teller and Piggly Wiggly clerk go on break when they see me (I mean the poor saps) coming, then somebody's gotta take up the slack. We all need love - or at least somebody to nod in feigned interest while we ramble on and on and on... That's why you're my best buddy Dan! I'm bunking with you dude. I'm tired of eating government cheese and livin' in a van down by the river. Get the cleaning woman to give the guest room the once-over! You got cable in there, right? But why don't you return my calls? That's not very friendly! I got a Chinese Checker board and a buttload of dirty limerics to share with ya'! Have you heard There was an old blogger named Dan...? You out there Dan? Hello? Why does this always happen to me? Folks with a more reasoned and balanced progressive perspective about our military are out there (see Sheila above).

I hate the wars we are currently involved in, but what on earth does that have to do with the soldiers? I totally blame this administration for the debacle, not the men and women who are just doing their jobs. Your character assessments sound like they came straight off Fox News. Perhaps you should ask an actual progressive what they think. I believe you will find that most are angry with the 'President' not the troops.
