Letter to the editor

Good ol' boy Darrell Huckaby, in his column, "Negative about Nancy," whined into his saturated crying towel about the 'tragic events' that took place Tuesday. He said, "let the fun begin, y'all" (he likes to say "y'all" a lot) and went on to outline the Democratic agenda for the next two years, while at the same time regaling us with tales of how good we've had it under the Republican congress. His spittle-spewn rhetoric even included a swipe at the horrible prospect of raising the minimum wage and heralding the collapse of small businesses across the land. "They'll be dancing in the streets in San Francisco", he said. Yes they will, Darrell, and in a whole lot of other places too. I just hope that once the shock wears off, Huckaby will have to acknowledge that the people have spoken, as I'm sure he would have put it if the results had gone the other way. In his final gasp, he expressed the hope that Dick Cheney's cardiologist "knows how important he has suddenly become." It would certainly be a new revelation for us all. Darrell Huckaby is a first class writer and can be hilarious at times. He can also be a model of total adherence to the party line and predictable to the point of irrelevancy. I wonder if he includes a course in objectivity at that high school where he teaches. I also wonder if there's life on Pluto.
