Dear Mister Wonderful,
My European friends are starting to make fun of me because the
president of the USA is such an idiot. What is the polite response,
socially, in such a situation?
Yours Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
Democrat, California

Dear Mrs. J.Q. Adams,
As my time-traveling mentor, Rufus, used to say, "When you've killed
one president, you've killed them all, and set up an irreconcilable time
vortex that swallows the innocent and guilty alike in a cruel vortex of
time that is incredibly cruel, and don't you forget it."
Rufus wasn't good with math, but he knew his way around a massage
parlor and that's what counted in ancient Mongolia.
That's what counts in modern Mongolia, too, but you didn't hear it from me.
When one is confronted with people from Denmark who think that they are
superior to Americans, one should reply: "Hans Christian Anderson
diddled mermaids." There's nothing political about that, but I owe Mark
Twain a favor.
What one must remember is that the President is not a king. He is not
the earthly presence of the divine essence of the country. He has no
spiritual component. He is one third of a tripartite secular governance
with no significance save what you choose to import to him. Hoo! Ha!
APE LAW!
The polite response, as always, is "Don't ask me. *I* voted for Pogo."

Mister Wonderful Recommends: Getting a decent agent for Chow Yun-Fat
and making him the next James Bond. O Yes. I would negotiate for
Batman as well. Frankie Muniz could be his Robin. I am terribly
serious about this, and will unleash the full power of Mister Dark if
anyone thinks it will help.

ACME BOOKSTORE GIRL: It's raining pretty hard.
MARLOWE: I got my car... That's right - it is, isn't it?
You know, it just happens I got a bottle of pretty good rye
in my pocket. I'd a lot rather get wet in here.
ACME BOOKSTORE GIRL: Well. It looks like we're closed for
the rest of afternoon.
