Weep Deserve All We Get or Don’t Get
RECEIVED Mon., March 16, 2009
Dear Editor,
Interesting how all of our leaders – be they local, county, state, or federal – lead by giving us the advice they collectively ignore. We the people (weep) are told to be loyal to our employers, support local business, and to make sacrifices in these hard economic times, etc.
In the meantime, at the local level we seek advice, award contracts, and search for prospective employees far and wide for just the right fit.
Weep deserve the lack of respect, do-as-I-say, and sheer audacity that is shoveled our way. Austin’s city manager, fire chief, and police chief are all from elsewhere. But hey, are they good or what? It’s encouraging to all employees to note that hard work, loyalty, etc. will get you what you deserve. Why? Because you don’t demand it!
Our governor says that there is no such thing as an unwanted child. Then there was a news item talking about an abandoned newborn in Austin. But he’s right 39% of the time … oh yeah, that’s the percentage of weep that thought he should be governor the last go-round. If you received 39% at anything, you would lose that something, right?
Our tax dollars are going to pay millions in executive bonuses at AIG. You should know that weep owns 80% of that corporation. So hey, why should they tighten their belts?
After all, there is more stimulus money where that came from; just squeeze us, and weep will give them more.
Weep refuse to see what is in front of us. Weep give respect to no one (how do you drive?). Weep do not stand up for our rights. Weep allow officials who were elected by a minority of the people to hold office and lie in public. Weep stand by while corporations continue to gorge at the trough.
Weep deserve all we get or don’t get. We demand no better.

[Editor's response: Now because this is so subtle, I want to make sure I'm reading it right. Even though you imply you are one of the dense masses that should be weeping, you know that these spineless ones don't include you? As you are actually smarter than the rest? Is that right?]
