I LOVE catchy phrases. You've got a bunch of 'em in here!
Great points made, both big and small. Catchy writing. And packs a lot into a little - for the short-attention-span crowd. Your points are nicely simplified - but you're so clever about it that they're probably that much more likely to stick. To take root. Maybe even to be assimilated? A meme is born? Actually more like a bunch of memes are born, maybe?
Only SMALL correction would be the typo at the top of the first paragraph. "Repbulicon" - the "b" and the "u" need to be switched.
One other teeny-weenie and picky-yuny edit from me personally. I happen to LOVE something that I think I may well have "thunk up" - calling them "CONS" (because all they offer is a CON job). Seeing that here makes absolute perfect sense and adds further emphasis and delivers a little sharper of a point. But I've learned that it's easier to use that reference, spelled that way, in arenas (like this and other progressive/liberal neighborhoods) where its meaning is widely acknowledged. A local paper or blog for general interest readers might be a less-than-perfect place to plant such a seed.
On the other hand... it's DAMN subtle, and a deliciously sneaky way to illustrate a point. Besides, some people might actually get it. And they might just enjoy seeing it put that way! EVERYBODY likes being in on an in-joke.
Liked this!
