A gal I know down South sent me a postcard the other day. It showed this photo of a sign-board with another insipid slogan -- you know the kind you see all over FaceBook and Google+ ; I call them "half-assed placards" -- and this one declared:
"My therapist set a glass half full of water in front of me and asked me, "Are you an optimist or a pessimist?" I told her, "No I am a problem solver. Then I drank the water down."
So I mailed the Southern lady back, returning her postcard, putting a blank mailing label over her caption. Then I wrote this new caption for the therapist:
"Better to pour that water over her head and say, "I'm a Republican. Welcome to trickle-down economics."
