IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

Save time, get smarter, improve your life!

Here's what I do. You don't have to do it if you don't want to, at least not until I have my Nannystate Stormtroopers installed in each and every one of your homes. These Enforcers of My Way will be the burly type, with arms so knotted with musculature that they are difficult to fold across their barrel chests, and whiskers the thickness of pencil lead. But they will have to wear those little lacy head bonnets and aprons, just so everyone is reminded of the liberal need to feminize everything.

Anyway, while we're all waiting for THAT glorious Dawn of the New Era, here's my suggestion in the meantime. Zero tolerance for a certain type of news story. You know the type -- it is about the only kind left. The kind that asks: "How will this PLAY?" That SPEECH? That APPOINTMENT? That PRESS CONFERENCE? Introducing that LEGISLATION? What is the reporter's TAKE and PREDICTION on how somebody ELSE will FEEL about WHATEVER??? Develop some radar for this. News people have gotten quite good at sliding it in all over the place. When you hit that part of a story, stop reading. When they start it on TV, (if they ever stop), turn the channel, or turn it off. Anyway, just a suggestion, at least until Mr. Nanny shows up. I think Halloween would be a good day for that. --Tom Toles
