What if everybody on Facebook from all over the world got together separately at a specific day and time and sent a collective, silent mind-message to Washington and Afghan to stop the killing? Wouldn’t cost a dime. Would that work do you think?

Um, how about sending emails. That doesn’t cost a dime, either. Or is it too much…work?

His reply to my comment:

Good idea, Donna–but EVERYONE would have to read the emails at the same time for the same kind of impact, yes?

No telling what his political orientation might be.

"President Obama prefers his hamburger with a very special condiment...Dijon mustard! WTH, does he think he's better than the rest of us?" "Okay, that's it. I'm going on a mustard hunger strike. I've always hated yellow anyway... ©D.Barstow 2009

A friend on Facebook linked to this brouhaha a few weeks ago, and I laughed outloud for about 5 minutes. I can’t find the original articles now, but they included Fox News and Sean Hannity. Here’s one boycotting Fox News.

Apparently, Sean Hannity thinks that requesting spicy, or Dijon mustard makes you elitist, stating, “I hope you enjoyed that fancy burger, Mr. President.” To make matters worse, Hannity includes a Grey Poupon commercial and Obama’s picture has a caption that reads, “President Poupon.”

Here’s the Canadian version. It still makes me laugh.

This is one of my favorite political cartoons for Slate, and I hope you appreciate the faint yellow mustardy cast on the cartoon. I’m still learning my way around Photoshop Elements, so I’m not fast, but I like to experiment. I also like the Armchair Activist. That would make a nice theme for other people sitting in chairs. Like all of us.

Subject: may not be renting out Disneyland for birthday bash

Body: I know I promised many of you that I planned to reserve Disneyland for a 54th birthday bash in late March, but I am now having second thoughts. My utility bills were higher than expected this month, and there has been a marked increase in Bass E’s food consumption [his basset hound] –among other things. So, as it stands now, it looks doubtful I will be able to afford the type of party I promised, and know I deserve.

If it is any consolation, I think I could get a few of us 2-3 free rides at Knotts Berry Farm on a Monday or Tuesday night, after 11 p.m., in the same month.

If this news causes you to delete me from your friends list, I understand.

I never expected to have to send this type of bulletin.

Someone’s comment:

talk about a bummer. turn your damn a.c. off….Have you considered Magic Mountain?

Jones‘ reply:

That’s a good suggestion. I know the fighting is better at Magic Mountain.

No related posts.

I don’t know who Jones is, and I can’t remember how we became (MySpace) friends. Is he a sitcom writer? A latenight standup comedian? He seems to have a lot of friends from Phil Hendrie… Or is he just an ordinary funny Joe? In any case, I hope he’s very highly paid.

I check out his bulletins every time I spot one. (And on MySpace, a good portion of bulletins are mind-numbing tedious surveys of 30 or 40 questions that explore WHO YOU REALLY ARE, in case you forget.) Here’s Jones’ latest bulletin (which looks mysteriously like a Facebook quiz.)

*What do you think of hump Wednesday?
It’s O.K.
*What about threesome Tuesday?
I’ve never experienced it.
*Just regular Tuesday?
Yes
*What about masochistic Monday?
Yes–I’m very familiar with that.
*Are you looking forward to third trimester Thursday?
I try to not look too far ahead…so no.
*What about
I’m exhausted–we’re done.
