Despicable Political Humor

I received an email with video that said, “I missed Obama's budget speech the other night, but I was delighted that someone sent me a shortened version of the speech. You really need to hear this as it covers all the key points in a very short time. Click on the attachment above“

The video shows a donkey running to the fence and braying, making all those donkey noises.

I couldn't help but imagine a caricature of an elephant with riders decked out in gold and silver holding bags of money, with the elephant stepping on people kneeling with their hands folded in prayer.

I was hired as an executive director for a program that had been running for several years. With my new position, it reduced the previous manager to a lower level. All the people who previously worked for her worked for me.

They had tenure in a small college. I was a contract person with a two year contract. Their hope was to make me so miserable and non-functional that they could return things to how they were before I was hired.

Staff members even put cartoons on the computer showing me in a red convertible with pigeons overhead.

I hung in for the duration of the contract; but I worked long hours to overcome the undoing that was transpired against me. Additionally, I was the outsider and this was a small town. It was a lonely job.

Eventually, things improved. By the end of my contract, things were actually civil and my work schedule became rational. The job took a toll on

Isn't despicable humor an oxymoron? Maybe that's why it is so hard to understand why its happening.

Ann,
I think the moron part of the word is pertinent.
