    Don't let the bastards get you down. We still believe in you.

    Oh, and if you felt like smacking around a few Republicans, like, literally smacking them upside the head, we've got your back. I'll even volunteer to smack Michelle Bachman for you. No, really.

    Somewhere, a batshit right-wing blogger is reading this as:

    "O Great Overlord-
    allow your fawning media minions one more softball question, then it's time to retire to the Oval Office, where we shall continue the great socialism-fascism movement of 2009.

    I guess the "Sir" is important. Maybe this is why he never responds when I tell him through the tv to speed things up?

    I'll have to start saying "Come on, SIR, The Office is supposed to start in 5 minutes!"

    I don't understand if this is aiming for snark or not. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

    I know you are a pyjama-clad blogger, but I don't get to name-call my boss.

    @AuntieBee: No snark meant, I (and BuzzFeed) just think the note is funny. And I usually just address my boss with "hey." "Sir" or "Madam" or Captain Janeway's favorite, "Captain" would get kinda cumbersome over IM.

    @Anna N.: I don't care if you are a pyjama-clad, bunny-slipper-wearin', pinko blogger (as accused), this was a well-crafted bit of fun. (Doubters, q.v. punch line beginning with "Less effective choices..." and note the concise, two-sentence delivery).

    I enjoy doing this myself when my overlord is in a group meeting, but as suggested by another commenter, I fold the paper in half. Gives the whole bit a powerful "West Wing" sort of aura.

    On an ecological note: Good Lord, that fancily embossed, heavy stock note card had to cost a fortune in ink and trees. But I covet it for its style and power.

    In reply to Obama Administration Backs Away From "Public Option"
    Hm, "a system of "nonprofit cooperatives,"
    Sounds like the bullshit health care those of us not fortunate enought to have an employer already get.
    Charity health care.
    I went to an appointment with one of the only free health care providers here in LA last week..

    -I waited for the appointment to become a patient [just to BECOME a patient] for 4 months
    -I inquired about dental, apparently the dental program is full. Sorry.
    -I inquired about eye, we only do exams for glasses. If you have contacts, sorry.
    -I made an appointment to get my cholesterol checked, per doctors suggestion, I can go in and get the results in October.

    Can we get someone in office to give up their EMPLOYER health care and navigate what you actually get when navigating through the BS of not having insurance?
