Oh dear.
Yikes. Now I'm depressed.
I mean, we all know things are bad. Really, really bad. But because we're Americans, and we've been living under the storm clouds of "really, really bad" for awhile now, we're able to do our American best and ignore it in order to get through our daily grind. Hell, we pride ourselves on this ability. And we do our best to ignore people making really good money in secure jobs- the ones who write letters to the editor saying things like "Stupid whiny leftists, they should look around and realize things aren't so bad in the country."
But every once in a while, someone really eloquent gets fed up, and throws it all right in our faces. And that's exactly what has happened to Mark Gisleson at the Minneapolis City Pages. He is an employment counselor who writes (or should I say wrote) the Career News weblog over at the Twin Cities Babelogue. And this is one of the most horrific letters of resignation I've ever seen. Be warned: This is not for the faint of heart.
Thank God for Al Franken.
