My friends (to quote a man who does so much to help Obama), as I read the veep diaries and comments tonight, I realize that a scourge is upon us. Maybe even an epidemic.
Many heartbroken political junkies have -- gasp -- NO TEXT MESSAGE FROM OBAMA!
I know, I know - it's a terrible thing to contemplate. Follow me over the flip to find out how you can help.
Have you seen the anguish? The wailing? The utter devastation suffered by those who were promised...PROMISED I tell you, that they would know first?
I realize that we have suffered under Bush's Shock Doctrine - we've had the war, Katrina, the gutting of the Justice department, EPA, and virtually every other department of the government...but still. This is a new low in human suffering.
So what can you do? How can you help?
I have one word for you. A simple - yet profound - solution to this crisis. (And yes, it is a crisis - just read the comments.)
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ HUGS }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Please, when you see a sufferer in the comment threads, hug him or her!
OK, let's practice, shall we?
I'll pretend to be a sufferer from No Txt Message Angst Syndrome (NTMAS)

Please - help end the suffering.
