I can just imagine you, holding the NAR report in your hand just like Colonel Walter E Kurtz at the end of Apocalypse Now, stroking your hand through whats left of your hair, and shrieking in a dulcet tone, "the horror, the horror."
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it's more like the beginning of the movie when Matrin Sheen, with helicopter sounds in the background, is in the hotel room drinking, doing Tai Chi, slamming his hand into a mirror and saying things like "in Vietnam everyone gets everything they want, I wanted a mission and for my sins, they gave me one" and tails off with some comment about it being brought up on a silver platter by room service.
My point is obvious, but since you obviouly won't get it, I'll just continue to read your blog and scratch my hair, while muttering, "the horror, the horror."
