I'm liberal, almost to a fault. I love leftist groups that still actually care enough to form something that could result in even the smallest tidal wave in political action. Something I should confess is that I also sometimes hate things that deep down are good for me or for the world. For example...I hated when my Nana would put Wheatgerm on my yummy sugar infested maple brown sugar oatmeal. I expressed skepticism over Mother Theresa's motivations. The Truth commercials make me want to buy stock in Marlboro. I find racist, sexist, ageist, and all kinds of politically incorrect statements hilarious.
That being said, I hate Moveon.org.
Every day I get a new email in my box from them, each one equally ignored. They're relentless. Yet I can't mark their email address as spam. Partially because there are now too many of them to keep track of. But also because that would, by definition, make me a bad liberal. This is what I stand for right? Then why do Eli and Nita aggravate me so?
I'll tell you why. Their damn "subjects". I'll be one to admit that finding the proper subject title for a mass email is difficult. But really, nothing can excuse what I found in my inbox today.
"BOMBING IRAN: NOT FUNNY."
Did anyone think it was? Is there a group of individuals out there using this for stand up material?? Are Bush and Cheney introducing the idea with the statement, "Boy have we got something John Stewart could use tonight....". I don't know. But just like I say about the person who comes up with the Daily News headlines, there has got to be someone better to do this job....
Nita, Eli, do yourself a favor. Find someone better.
Thank you for that free bumper sticker, though.
After my student loan officer, your organization will be the first to know when I've overcome my economic hardship.
