Due to the sale of the U-T and coming staff lay-offs, we expect to be inundated by former reporters. Yeah, right!
So, I hope you don’t mind diving to the bottom of the barrel for writers. Every project deserves another. Herewith PROJECT 2026. After the next election all voters will report to re-education camps. Camps will be facilitated by the CCP, Pathet Lao and the Viet Kong. Voters will have a choice. Camps are so much fun! Possible mottos “WE know how to squeeze the Uyghur out of you” or “Not yet Tibet.” Voters loyal to the President will be asked to join the maroon force. If we need a space force, we need a Maroon Force that is loyal the President. The Maroon Force “without rime or reason” will enforce the will of the President. After rigorous DNA testing voters will be randomly assigned a gender, political philosophy, status and ethnic group. This will level the voting field and give each a new perspective. Nevertheless, all will support the president with the help of the Maroon Goons ( possible motto Semper-Bi or forget the cassons, we’re rootin’ for Putin. Sorry Frank, I’m on low bat so I’ll sign off for now. Edit as you wish. By the way, your erstwhile reporter Lynn Miller was my third-grade crush. She her husband and I took a health class together at SDSU. I’m not sure if I missed a class or she did.
I’m not a local anymore; just an observer from afar.
