Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Ads for used exercise equipment generally say things like “never used it” or “just gathering dust.” Not a compelling reason for me to buy.
Better ad copy would say “Lost enough weight to meet my goal, don’t need it anymore.”
Same applies to candidates for President. “Never held a real job but eager to run the entire economy” doesn’t move me to donate to you, but rather to hide my wallet.
“FREE BEER” used to be a joke so you’d listen to the real message. Now, it’s Bernie’s entire campaign slogan. No wonder he’s winning.

Well, winning among people who are inclined to vote for Bernie Sanders.
Which, unfortunately, given the devolution of our society, is a hell of a lot of people.
Imagine the absolute terror that hedge fund managers experience when they think of “President Bernie Sanders” or “President Hillary Clinton”!
Oh, who am I kidding. If either of them gets elected, you’ll hear champagne corks popping in every office on Wall Street. Just look how much richer Obama has made them.
