Well you did it AGAIN! Missed the point of the whole shebang just like
everybody else in AMERICA, so I had to pull the keyboard out and
disconnect my VERBEX. (It recognizes my expletives and won't delete
them). So for your edification here's the REAL skinny which is
illustrated by some great moral TRUTHS!
A: Jealous Rage can lead to a man's downfall.
B: The only state secret revealed was that while Dick was paying
two hundred an hour his boss was getting it for free.
C: A wise man does not bite the hand that feeds him, or have his
toes sucked by the bosses' honey. His ass could be grass!
D: It is unwise to lust in your heart for the boss's wife and then
tell your girlfriend about it!
E: Being a "beard" can really tick a guy off. Nothing like a good
cuckcolding to make him want to kick ass and take names. Ergo, mere
disgrace and resignation does not satisfy the ego, so enter SADDAM.
F: Man, talk about your Freud. Whew! Those tomahawk missiles PACK
A LOT OF POWER, GO RIGHT WHERE THEY OUGHT TO GO, AND WHEN THEY EXPLODE
GET OUTTA THE WAY, AND YUP, THEY'RE REALLY BIG!
G: A wise man rejoices in his good fortune. VINCE FOSTER's
flagrante delicto cost him more than his job!
Well I trust you understand now. I won't belabor it. Why is it
that real truth is so hard to see?

Dear John,
Thanks for your to-the-point analysis. I appreciate your efforts
to keep emotions in check and discuss this important subject calmly
and impassionately. However, for now at least, you have failed on both
counts. Keep trying, though...

Subject: Hello Muse
D'Muse,
I remain somewhat perplexed over the behaviour of
the folks on my block...
The issue of chemical castration, which Piet
Wilson, our Uberguvner, recently signed into law, left
'em largely yawning. Rumor has it that next up will be
chemically administered lobotomy for three-strikers,
treatment periods to be prescribed by law and leaving
little discretion to the sentencing judge. Feeling is
that this will be very cost effective - won't have to
keep those people in expensive prisons.
Meanwhile, we have forced an initiative onto the
fall ballot to make prescription marijuana available to
comfort our sick and dying. Piet has consistently stopped
every effort to do this in the past, saying that he was
protecting the afflicted from the hoax that marijuana
might make them feel better. This despite the fact that
the sick and dying seem to like the stuff, and feel
better when they use it.
As you can see, it's a curious block that I live
on. One might think that an enlightened people would rise
up in outrage, and demand ... something, I dunno. But
then, the new season has started on TV and there is a lot
to think about.
Regards, -rv
Thanks for the report. Life round your parts sounds depressing.
When's the next block party to cheer folks up?

Relax, Bob. Help Libby with the Red Cross.
Best Bet for the Bobster is Mayor for life of Russell, KA.
(Or maybe he wants to be Commissioner of Baseball.)
(Even better - Honorary Commissioner of Baseball)
(He could work with Bill Bennett to put Honor back in the game)
(May as well make it a clean sweep - make Kemp Commissioner of Football)
(Instead of moving a football team to a city, maybe Kemp can move a city
to a football team - like maybe Cleveland to Buffalo. It's just across
the lake, right?) Cheers.

Subject: Long Live the Muse
Dear Daily Muse crew:
You know, I don't even remember how I first came across the Daily Muse,
but I've become hooked. As far as content goes, the Muse is probably
the best page I have come across in my web travels. It is obvious that
a lot of work goes into the page, a rare combination of analysis, humor,
and technical accomplishment.
I like the Muse so much that, concerned for your financial situation, I
actually went poking around LOOKING for your sponsors, when I happened
across your "Soliciting" link. I imagine that there are many people who
would like to do what they can to help keep the Muse moving forward
(short of actual cash donations, heh heh). Are you planning any
campaigns to draw sponsor attention? If so, please display your plan
conspicuously, that the Daily Muse faithful may unite, and rise in
defense of enlightenment, intellect, and the Norteamericano way (Made in
Taiwan).
Hey, how about pitching Daily Muse t-shirts? Be like Nike, without
oppressing Third-World nations: get people to advertise your product by
paying you! It would be cool if you could get permission to print your
site awards somewhere on the shirt...
Thank you all for your fine "product",
Brian Leong
:o)
Hello Brian,
Thanks so much for the kind words. They keep us going. It's funny
that you should mention T-shirts (one size fits all!), which have
been bandied about as a possible Muse revenue source. But we've been
so busy uploading the site that we're way behind on our sewing.
Stay tuned.

Subject: middle America's conspiracy.
Has anyone else noticed that the middle of the country is taking over? Is
it just a coincidence or what that both serious presidential wannabees
are from states that contain the word Kansas? (Special note: even though
Texas is technically in the middle, the little guy with ears is probably
not a part of the conspiracy...just another victim). Heck, the other
night they even managed to steal the Miss America crown from all of the
outlying areas. Kinda scary, ain't it? Next thing you know we'll all be
watching crop reports and the weather channel and talkin about how far
we're behind in the year's rain. Isn't there anybody we can call?
Dear Robert,
Do you think we're in for more rain, and with the short cool summer,
are we due for a ton of snow this winter? We at The Daily Muse are
tired of mowing our lawn and can't wait to get busy raking.
Of course, what's this going to do to the grain elevators--and,
more to the point, the price of bread?

Subject: Re: Miss Politics & Middle America
I think its important that my fellow
paranoids realize that they are not alone. Some may think these weather
patterns are accidental, but isn't it funny how Kansas has mysteriously
missed all of the major calamaties everyone else has suffered this year.
Just yesterday, I saw Farmer Larson down at the Mudway Cadillac dealer
eyeing up his new El Dorado. And if you think bread prices are going to
be bad, wait to you see what they're going to do to twinkies !!!
Just as an editorial aside, I should let you know that I am really quite
an average guy, but I do appreciate the finer points of sarcasm and long
for the day when Saturday Night Live will return to its finer calling.
Must be those sixteen years under the water I spent on submarines in the
US Navy. Have a great day and watch out for the combines!

Thanks for the reply. Of course you can publish my letter. I will visit
your site often since it has the kind of stuff that I can relate to. I
have been writing this kind of stuff for a hobby for years and I feel
like I have found a new home base to relate to. My wife says it has
something to do with being underwater for 16 years (I just retired from
the Navy not too long ago and spent a good deal of my time on
submarines).

I must object to your description of Pete Sampras as "lanky". According

"ungracefully tall and thin". Ungraceful? How can the world's
highest-ranked male tennis player be considered "ungraceful"?
aschnedr@cais.com is a pretty strange email address for you to be using,

Subject: California Dreamin'
The people on my block are appalled ... After having lived
here for the better part of 30 years, one would think that my
adopted home state would have lost the ability to distress me ...
but no, apparently there are no depths that the Golden State will
not plumb.
Just on the heels of Gov. Pete (we'll lead the nation to
castration!) Wilson signing a bill requiring the castration of
repeat sex offenders, we find the newly-formulated,
super-low-smog producing, very expensive gasoline. Seems that
one of the prime chemicals in this ghastly soup causes the rubber
in the fuel lines to break down, causing fuel leaks and consequent
fires. Since June, there has been a 10% increase in auto fires statewide.
Several of these fires have started in the owner's garages, thus
endangering the homes of the owners. All have been traced to fuel
system leaks.
Now all this has been going on with the full knowledge of
state government, which leads one to speculate ... What's next?
Let the punishment fit the crime, say we. Chop the hands off
shoplifters, burn witches at the stake, pillory the homeless.
Maybe Pete Wilson should have to shoot craps with this gasoline
for the rest of his life, however long that may be. Let Bubba
worry about the 21st century, what we need here in California is a
bridge to the 20th!
Hello Ron,
I sense a government conspiracy to systematically reduce your
beautiful state's population. Research this and report back ASAP.
