"Message in a bottle" Letter to the editor Tom Denton

Message in a Bottle

Dear World—Help!  We are being held hostage.  Yes, it’s true that some of our manly white dudes worship the guy with the big button, but the Stockholm syndrome can make you crazy.  Yes, our GOP leaders that you ordinarily deal with are greedy, spineless frauds, but it’s hard to be a sycophant and rich at the same time.  Don’t expect them to negotiate:  after their tax bill, they’re set until at least 2027 and won’t be interested in doing any deals except their own. 

These tweet storms are worse than listening to “I’d love to be an Oscar Meyer weiner/That is what I’d truly like to be-e-e” cycled 24/7 over a loudspeaker.  We can’t take it anymore!  Nuclear war, what!?  Huma Abedin?  Is she dangerous?  An awards show for crooked media?  Who’s nominated?  HE put an end to death in the skies.  What else should we be grateful for?  Stop!

We aren’t grateful!  He isn’t us!  Please don’t abandon us.  We have a problem in our family.  It’s a disease.  We are at Step 1:  we admit that we are powerless.  Can you help us with an intervention?   A BIG one?  Send Gort.  Klaatu barada nikto.

We know he never wanted the job.  We’re afraid of what he’ll do to get rid of it.

You’ve got to hurry.  It’s getting worse every day.  The lives you save may be your own.
