Is this a joke?

Seriously, I’m sorry for misleading you yesterday. If I had just checked Lady M’s schedule it would have been obvious that the big Speech wasn’t until today: her special detox and body wrap session is booked for this morning and Derrick Rutledge isn’t scheduled to perform his $15k/day artistry on Lady M until this afternoon.


I guess we pay for that, too?

I don't know if the detox/wrap item is a joke, but I suspect the bit about Rutledge is not (probably hair/makeup), and, yes .... we pay for that, too.

I demand a refund.

It didn't work.

Amen brother.

Elementary school (3rd grade) devoted time teaching how to read the
newspaper which was the portal to the world and to constant improvement
in literacy.  Watching the evening news was also stressed as part of our
growing into competent adults.  This thought is reflected in some lyrics
from a country song, ..."But I was smarter than most and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news..."

Today, as reflected by Ms. Sweet, our youth have no common points
where they are exposed to basic grammar, critical thinking, logic, or
accurate information.  More evidence of societal decay.
