Quelle Surprise!
I woke up this morning to find financial ruin and fame for the SLUG Queens both on the same bold front page of New York's finest financial institution--The Wall Street Journal. Should I be happy or sad?
But perhaps it was a fait accomplis, non? After all wasn't Marie Antoinette beheaded to appease to masses as her beloved country teetered on the edge of financial collapse due to copious spending and borrowing of the rich elite? I should not have been surprised to find myself, Queen Marie Slugtoinette, similarly decapitated as a "hed cut" drawing (really-that's the popular name for those distinctive dot sketch portraits of celebrities unique to the WSJ)!
But I am grateful we, the SLUG Queens, and Eugene, Oregon too, have provided comic relief to the nation in these tough times. Now, perhaps, we can proceed with our national regime change without a bloody revolution. Now that you have my head, the country is bound to rebound...as long as we keep the slime in Eugene.
