I hope you all got your issue of "PRAVDA" from the lobby kiosk. It was the first printed issue by the Board since I can't remember when. It was written by you-know-who who "doesn't read this blog".
All of the elements within this self-aggrandizing pulp fiction were brought up over here during the past many months, including the fact that we haven't received any newsletters. The exception is the prologue which sounds like the opening sequence of a very bad porn flick which she lifted elsewhere but gave credit. The visualization is ....nevermind.
Now they are finally going to address issues plaguing our building for which the were originally in denial. Election season must be coming and they can only hide their agenda for so long.
Now that the reserve fund has been squandered for unnecessary items, some of which we previously addressed, how are we going to pay for the real capital expenditures, such as the plumbing?
Okay...so it's Friday and that's not funny, but it's true.
Please comment with uplifting humor. We need it.

What is Politics
Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."
If a law were passed giving six months to every writer of a first book, only the good ones would do it.
Glad you cleared that up. What did Anon attempt to say?
6 months to write it or 6 months to live if you did? Either way that makes absolutely no sense.
Some great novels took years.
Anyone who would be executed after 6 months...well.
BTW- found you in the spam folder. Make sure it says "comment posted" before you leave or press publish comment again.
find the letter from our board president just hilarious...it's a monologue with with her own paranoia.
@Archie: My sister hasn't gotten a response from you guys about the wedding. I told her that I know you're sailing and expect to be back next month, but she needs to know if for sure if the 2 of you are coming ASAP.
looking forward for more of these, it may give you a hint of what the board is actually up to.
It's a shame that we live in a place where the board needs to be up to "something" rather that just going about their own lives and contributing "spare time" to this rather than making this their "full time" occupation. That is why we have so many problems. And God forid these people get re-elected. That would be the absolute death of our building. we'll be a bankrupt slum in disrepair.
I apoligize that we have not responded as our regular mail is being held until our return. Please forward our intent to attend. We wouldn't miss it for the world. Barring any unforeseen difficulties, we should be back just after Memorial Day Weekend, likely docked in OB, as usual. we sincerely hope this hasn't caused any difficulties.
And as far as writing novels are concerned. I have been keeping a log of my "adventures" which aren't terribly exciting. I have the luxury of no agent who is nagging me. I hope that my grandchildren will be interested in whatever I have written when they come across grandpa's ramblings. They may do with them as they wish, even publish them. In my lazy retirement, 6 months? I don't think so. You'll just have to wait to be bored. My relaxation is your ennui? Earn your own Shangrilah.
I know I can count are your continuving shtupidity......... SHUPPORT six months hence.
der Leader
the positive tone of the letter sounds almost like when somebody dies people say "he is in the better place now"
6 months to kick ASS out.
JackLASS is now JackASS.
Because "Life's Good"
tick tock.
Click my name for a heartfelt tribute to our former beloved manager. With great sadness, an era has passed. She will be sorely missed.

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited.
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on
productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she
said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil
spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
"Very good," said the teacher.
Little Jenny was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I
explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current
events."
"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath
... Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a
box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said.
"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling"
"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell
enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a
Dip &Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample."
They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog crap!"
Then I would say, "It is dog crap. Wanna buy a toothbrush?
I used the Board President's method of giving you something shitty, but
looks good, for free, and then making you pay to get the bad taste out
of your mouth." The teacher was speechless. . .. . . . . .
Little Johnny got 5 stars for his efforts, bless his heart. . .
In 1798, not long after the adoption of the Constitution, the governing Federalist Party attempted to stifle criticism by means of the Alien and Sedition Acts. (It was notable that the Sedition Act made criticism of Congress, and of the President, a crime, but not criticism of the Vice-President. Jefferson, a non-Federalist, was Vice-President at the time the Act was passed.) These restrictions on freedom of the press proved very unpopular in the end and worked against the Federalists, leading to the party's eventual demise. Thomas Jefferson was among those who opposed the Acts, and did so vehemently, and he was elected President in the election of 1800. Jefferson then pardoned most of those convicted under the Acts. He made it a principle not to ask what they had done, but only whether they had been charged under the Acts. In his first Inaugural Address in 1801 he reiterated his longstanding commitment to freedom of speech and of the press: "If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."
Freedom of the press in the United States is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This clause is generally understood as prohibiting the government from interfering with the printing and distribution of information or opinions, although freedom of the press, like freedom of speech, is subject to some restrictions, such as defamation law and copyright law.
In Lovell v. City of Griffin, Chief Justice Hughes defined the press as, "every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion."[1] This includes everything from newspapers to blogs.
As famously said by journalist A. J. Liebling, "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one."[2] The individuals, businesses, and organizations that own a means of publication are able to publish information and opinions without government interference, and cannot be compelled by the government to publish information and opinions that they disagree with. For example, the owner of a printing press cannot be required to print advertisements for a political opponent, even if the printer normally accepts commercial printing jobs.
