Dear Daylight Savings,

You are arriving at 0200 tonight (sunday, technically).

That means we're "springing" forward an hour. That means when I drive home, there will still be plenty of daylight. That means spring and summer are coming real soon.

You. Fucking. Rule.


Regards,
Everyone

Dear Santa Monica Public Library,

Here are your hours at the Santa Monica Main Library:
Mon - Thurs: 10am to 9pm
Fri - Sat: 10am to 5:30pm
Sun: 1pm to 5:00pm

Maybe this is our inner-nerd speaking, but we think Friday night after 5:30pm is the prime time to go to a library. We had a long week at work, our big party night is Saturday. Maybe we just want to get a coffee and check out some books on a Friday night!

Maybe you should have more events happening on weekends. Maybe a cool concert or two. Some movie screenings. Make the place more hip.

Please re-think your hours. Thanks.


Regards,
Everyone

Dear Closeted Gay Men,

Cut the bullshit and come out already. Grow a pair, really. YOU are the reason people don't accept gay people. Maybe if these radical, psychopathic christians or mormons or whatever knew that their nephew or husband or church choir boy or priest for gods sake, enjoyed smoking pole every now and again, then maybe they could be more forgiving. We're all human. Look at how much fun the out of the closet gays are having.

Out with it already.


Regards,
Everyone

Dear Verizon Wireless,

Please stop trying to sell me on a "better calling plan" at least twice a month, every month, that costs $20 more a month.

I really am not that stupid.

Dear Manny,

About fucking time.

Manny Ramirez finally signs with the LA Dodgers. This practically ensures that the Dodgers have the most dangerous line-up in the NL West. Now as for that Dodgers pitching ... hm.

Dear Stock Market,

You are fucked.

Dear Rush Limbaugh,

You've gotten some heat - from Republicans too - for wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin' and plannin' and dreamin' that President Obama will FAIL:


However:

"Whenever a Republican criticizes him, they have to run back and apologize to him." - Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff

It happens. They want to keep all those voters who listen to you! It makes sense.

Thankfully, there is a web site (www.imsorryrush.com) that will help citizens send some apologies to you on behalf of Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Georgia); South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford; or Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

Fun times!


Regards,
Everyone

PS: Oh and President Obama? Please don't fail. Thanks.


This is definitely in the spirit of "Regards, Everyone."

For more head over to the CNN Political Ticker. They've got a Twitter too.

Dear Santa Monica,

I love you.

Dear Bachelor,

You're kid is going to be so f*cked up from all of your selfish, pitiful woman chasing. Did you really break down and cry on national TV? Did you really introduce a 3 year old to two mommies? Did you really LOSE on the bachelorette?

You suck.

Everyone

Dear Vending Machine,

YOU TAKE CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS?!

That. Is. Amazing.

The future is here!

But apparently the future is expensive (especially with the Santa Monica Pier markup). Fuck you, Vending Machine and inflated costs. Fuck you for charging $3.00 for a 20 oz. Coca-Cola.

Everyone

You look pretty awesome in High Definition. I can't imagine watching NASCAR any other way from here on out.

Yes, we secretly like watching you too.
