You have loyalty to one's employee's on one hand and fidelity to The Order of Things on the other. It's a fucking Republican paper; in what way is the Post's choice in any way surprising?

Officer, I am a graduate of (mumbles).

OFFICER (smacking on gum that's two days old.)
Yeah. So?

SHEILA (to self.)
Oh shit.

(Thinking.)

SHEILA
Um, I'm a woman, dammit!

OFFICER
I ask you again. You hear me askin' ya? So?

SHEILA (grasping)
I tried selling lemonade once, from a stand on my front lawn. I painted a sign, constructed the damn thing out of lumber left over from my neighbor's deck project, and he even lent me the nails, the hammer, the concrete for the footings, the everything. And like a good DIY'er, I wore the goggles, you know the safety goggles? And I even put a bandanna around my head, it was red, people thought I was a Blood! And then, I went to Lowe's or Ace, I don't remember, and bought myself a pair of those work gloves, you know, the ones made out of leather, so that I wouldn't callous up my delicate hands, the same hands that once held a reproduction of the Magna Carta - long story. The parchment crumbled, right there in my hands! Anyway, I also had a tool belt, because who wants to see my ass crack when I stoop to pick up the hammer? It's inevitable, I tell ya, it's inevitable, the worksite ass crack. Sometimes, admittedly, ass crack is wonderful, but not on a job site. For reals! Construction managers write that shit into the union contract: No worksite ass crack. I think they got Jimmy Hoffa to agree to that language, so it's pretty ironclad. Is this a union shop? Anyway, yeah, I built that lemonade stand, varnished it up all nice, like those cherry wood cabinets you see on Home Improvement, no not the one with Tim Allen, you know what show I'm talkin' about? And I put my sign up, as previously discussed, and NO ONE CAME. People drove by, walked by with their fucking kids, and not one of them could spend a fucking QUARTER for some lemony refreshment? IT'S ONLY 95 DEGREES OUT HERE, PEOPLE! I was heard to exclaim, by my mother, who told me to "Keep it down, Sheel-Sheel, you already scare the neighbors!" And I was like, hey, maybe THAT's why these sons of bitches aren't buying my fucking lemonade!

OFFICER
You had me at "ass crack."

SHEILA (interrupted; befuddled.)
What?

OFFICER
Name, last name, first name, social.

SHEILA
But -

OFFICER
I'll need your address too please.

SHEILA (The straws? She grasps at them.)
Um, officer?

OFFICER
Ass crack?

SHEILA
I write for Gawker.

OFFICER
Gawker.

SHEILA
Yeah.

OFFICER
Gawker. You know -

(SHEILA gulps.)

OFFICER
You tell that prick Richard, (whispers) I let you out of here on account that I win the next Open Caption, you understand me?

SHEILA
Open Caption? Laaaaaaaaame.

OFFICER
Officer Snidely!

(SNIDELY sidles up. He is beefy.)

SNIDELY
Yeah?

OFFICER
Lock her up.

SHEILA (snarling, but resigned.)
Fucking Richard.

See: here is the problem of Rupe owning so much media and why everyone needs to rise up: The edit page lies and says one thing and there own staff proves them wrong. But back to Mr. Blair: Da-yamn.

Are there people other than me making those suggestions? Sweet!
