Horse Pucky

Submitted by John Spencer Yantiss, Nov 30, 2007 13:08

What is it with elected officials? They get in office, and morph into ALL-KNOWING-I'VE-BEEN-ANNOINTED-GODLINGS who are destined to fix the world. Give it up Anthony! If you will e-mail me, I will respond with instructions on how to fix the world, according to my superlative notions of what everyone else should do and be. Get a grip--I am using hip-lingo here to fit in with the absurdity of Mr. Avella's attention-gathering agenda.
