  As our movement picks up momentum, credit must be paid to patriots of the revolution. Comrade Saleski has been a fine defender of the realm here. Your good works have been noted. Like Santa, I'm making a list- and checking it twice.
  
  But DJRadiohead has become a true fierce warrior for the people. He may well get Rummy's job when the old regime is swept away into the dustbin of history.
  
  But Guppus may wish to reconsider his continuing offenses against Geometry and Theology, or face the lash of revolutionary justice.
  
  Then there is Master Christopher. He's liable to find himself taking a vacation at the soon to be newly refurbished Camp Mimi. Unless several months in a re-education camp full of Mariah Carey fans sounds like your idea of a good time, I'd suggest laying the tongue off of disparaging The People's Revolution.

  Alisha darlink, I'm afraid you really seem to be losing all common sense as you struggle to maintain your own little alternate reality. Talent writes songs, plays music; great talent recognises that not all they create is golden.
  
  I find TWS to work in a limited and well worn vein of music with no sense of forward motion or progress or even hope, dammit. I've yet to be surprised or delighted by their music. All I see is dated, limited music and a bunch of trite lyrics about naive country livin' daydreams and a monotonous obsession with doorbells.
  
  Go away and listen to some old Beefheart stuff or Missy Elliott or even Justin bloody Timberlake, something, anything for crying out loud. Get out of the museum of empty dreams and into the 21st century!
  
  And enough with the lame cheap shots, if that's all you've got, you're running on empty. So there!
  
  There's actually even less justification for your part in this heinous art fraud, Mr Barger. I've read more of you than Ms Karabinus on music and would expect you not to have fallen for this shallow con trick. Pah!
