Dear Republicans

Dear Republicans,
I'm giving serious thought to voting for the republican candidate come November.  However, I'm not sure now I can vote for either Romney or Gingrich.  How they've been pretty nasty toward one another.  If one of them gets the nomination, is the other one just going to say, "Aw, shucks, I didn't really mean all that bad stuff I said about him during the primaries"?  I tried watching some of the debate last night, but I got tired of hearing them attack one another.  I finally turned it off because all I was hearing was "blah, blah, blah."  At the moment, Rick Santourim is looking pretty good... even if I can't spell his name.  Someone needs to do something, as it's looking like the party is shooting itself in the foot!

Dear NASCAR

Dear NASCAR,
So I'm driving to school this morning, and I hear a promo for M&M's.  And at the end, they say something about M&M's... the official candy of NASCAR.  WTH!?!?!  How can M&M's be the official candy of NASCAR AND sponsor the freakin' Candy Car?????  Everyone who sponsors a car can't be the "Official (your sponsor) of NASCAR.  I mean, who's going to be the "Official 'Home' Store of NASCAR?"  Lowes or Home Depot?  I'm about tired of things being the "Official ______ of _______."  I remember hearing a commercial once for "The Official Bricks of the Dallas Cowboys."  Pull-eeze!!!!!  <insert eye roll here>  On the other hand, I'd much rather M&M's be the official candy of NASCAR than the sponsor of that 18 car.  I mean, at least NASCAR has a pretty good reputation.  (And if M&M's sponsored NASCAR instead of the 18 car, then I could eat M&M's year-round, and not just in December and January.  I'm just sayin'...


Sincerely,

Good Grammar

Dear Former Students,

When I first joined Facebook, one of the reasons was to keep up with you... to stay in contact. But some of you are ruining it for me! Any student who has ever been in any of my classes, knows punctuation and capitalization. And proofreading! C'mon, people! If it's important enough to post as a status, at least proofread to make sure it makes sense! And look think back to English class... remember how every sentence begins and ends! I'm not judging you, honestly I'm not, but I do know you know how to write a sentence correctly... at least every once in a while.

And while I have your attention, I'd also like you to think about WHAT you are posting. Some of you have gotten so foul, I've removed you because what you you post offends me. You're an adult now, it's time to start acting more mature. Do you ever stop to think about the fact that your old teacher(s) are reading what you are posting? I just want to be proud of the person you've become... I want to know about your accomplishments, not that you got drunk last night.

Of course, I'm not talking about all of you! As far as that goes, this applies to some friends and family members, too. I'm just saying... think about what you're posting... and proofread!

Love,

Your English Teacher

Charlie Sheen

Dear Charlie Sheen,

What are you doing? Two and a Half Men is one of my very favorite shows. I never miss a show, and I watch the reruns over and over again! But WHAT are you doing? Three million dollars an episode????? Do you realize how many people in the world are out of a job right now? Thousands of teacher in Texas are in danger of losing their jobs, and you want three million dollars an episode to do a show? Don't get me wrong, like I said, I love your show. It's fun... it makes me laugh. I went to college for 4 years, I graduated in August, and started to work right away. I've been working at it for almost 30, and maybe I've made one million... maybe! I'm not begrudging you your salary, I'm just wondering if you have stopped to think about how much you make already, and how much that money would mean to so many, and still you want more!?!? Now I don't know the whole story, and I don't pretend to know, but from where I sit, it's just not right. I truly hope some agreement is made so that I haven't seen the last of Two and a Half Men... I'd really miss having Charlie, Alan, and Jake in my life.

Sincerely,

A Teacher in Texas

Dear Monday...

Dear Monday,

I know you don't like me very much, and it's okay because the feeling is mutual! I only have 12 or 13 more of you left in this school year, so could you please go easy on me until summer? I'd really appreciate it. And in return, I promise not to bash you on my Monday night shows!

Love,

A Teacher Ready for Summer
