For a while, it seemed as if Tetrapilotamos, who is currently very busy proofreading his 1,669-page masterpiece ‘Pre-Assyrian Philately in a Nutshell,’ wasn't listening to me at all.
But then I hear him mutter: "Fact is, the illiteracy rate in Washington, D.C. is higher than in Cuba. Same goes for the crime rate.

Hi Sean - I'm not surprised anyone is listening to you ... as you talk to yourself proofreading your 1,669 page masterpiece ... Pre-Assyrian Philately in a Nutshell - presumably a hazel nut shell. Stupidity at the moment abounds everywhere ... down here too. Cheers Hilary

Sadly stupidity and criminality is thriving in a number of places. The White House is definitely one of them.
ReplyDeleteWith eight billion people instead of 1.5 billion on this tiny planet, this is again no wonder.

ReplyDeleteIt certainly is.
