I just discovered today that politicians have affairs.
Repulsed, I have now completely withdrawn from the world, holing myself up in a cabin in the mountains. I will not return until I grasp the reality that politicians have affairs. Besides, that never happens outside of the Beltway.



Please - send a carrier pigeon with a note when politicians are no longer having affairs. That way, I can assimilate back into modern society.

Yours,

~Writer the Hermit~

2. Note to Writer
Politicians also belch, fart and their shit stinks.



Sorry to push you further into withdrawal but you might as well know the whole truth.

7. Oh no! Now I'll never leave this rickety cabin in the mountains.
Someone send me a care package, because I'll never see the light of day again.

8. You're going to be there awhile.
Of course, the plus side is that you'll have time to get more writing done. Especially if you turn off DU. Better do that until you figure out that not only are politicians untrustworthy, but they mirror their supporters.

10. I just discovered today that the media covers politicians' affairs.
This is horrendously offensive, repulsive, and shocking to me. I will start a bunch of threads about it, and then retreat to the mountains to bemoan our society.

11. I'm devastated, just devastated. Next thing you know, we'll find out they take money
from corrupt types.

Nah, couldn't be...
