Last One To Know

It has recently come to my
attention that there is a report
abroad to the effect that a local
radio station broadcast as news that
Tom Doran was the central figure
of the final news-conference about
the Huey Newton speech, and that
Tom played no part in that
news-conference, and that I am
supposed to have put the newscaster
up to letting that fib out on
the air.

Why is it that I am always the
last one to know of my horrible,
shameless, wicked, soulless,
miserable, conniving, evil, mindless,
terrible, scarifying...!!! Deeds?
Always it is that I'm informed by
my friends that I've perpetrated
some new outrage upon innocent,
unsuspecting mankind (such as
breathing....).

Granted that as a (Oh, horrors!)
conservative I'm obviously a Devil
From Hell, a Fiend Incarnate, a
Monster, an Ogre, and a Total
Outcast from The Human Race
Whom Even The Untouchables Will
Not Deign To Touch, a few other
Y.A.F. members may also be found
crawling under various rocks at the
University.

As long as causeless Kudos are
being tossed around so freely, is it
at all just to deny them some of the
credit for something or other?

By the way, if anybody heard
any such newscast, I'd like to know
about it. Please write 109
