You know what? Like any divorce this doesn't have to be a bad thing. Think of yourselves, people, and fuck the corporations. Government is "For the People, By the People", and when you read "Corporation" read "For the rich, by the rich". Leave it behind and move on, keep your noses down and you might just teach those Krauts a lesson...

If you recall Snoopy's line: "It was a dark and stormy night..." was actually borrowed from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel "Paul Clifford", and according to the wiki represents "the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style of fiction writing,".
But take heart, there's actually a contest where people compete to write the most melodramatic opening phrase. This year's winner:
Even from the hall, the overpowering stench told me the dingy caramel glow in his office would be from a ten-thousand-cigarette layer of nicotine baked on a naked bulb hanging from a frayed wire in the center of a likely cracked and water-stained ceiling, but I was broke, he was cheap, and I had to find her.
William "Barry" Brockett, Tallahassee, FL

A friend sent me this:
"TODAY Tastemaker and child development expert Deborah Gilboa told TODAY Parents that the real crime in the Canadian teenager's 911 call to report her parents last week "seems to be that we have robbed teenagers of any sense of true difficulty or emergency."
I only know the boy, and the old adage/myth that girls mature faster than boys... but, and not to endorse TODAY magazine, this made sense.
