I can guarantee that Tom Brokaw won’t be asking these tough questions!
Dear Mother Lode,
My friend proposed packaging up the politicians and placing them on the next outbound NASA rocket. Do you think this a good idea?
Signed,
An Unhappy American
Dear Unhappy,
Only if there’s no return rocket.

Dear Mother Lode,
I think Obama is from another planet. Shouldn’t this disqualify him from running for the presidency?
Confused in CA
Dear Confused,
I see you’re from California, honey. That explains a lot. But to answer your question, No. Many of the creatures on Capitol Hill are extraterrestrial. That makes them exempt from the laws the rest of us have to follow.

Dear Mother Lode,
Do you have any advice for viewing the debates tonight?
Anxious Viewer
Dear Anxious,
Have a stiff drink handy. Next question? TML
Dear Mother Lode,
I am interested in alternative energy and was wondering if it’s possible to harness all the wind that will be blowing from the debate. My mother says it could power half the nation. Is this so?

Dear HEC,
You obviously have a brilliant and astute mother. She is correct, Little One. It’s a little known fact that THIS is the secret behind Al Gore’s alternative energy powered house. However, because they realize the tremendous potential of such a power source of energy, they’ve regulated it beyond usability. -TML
Dear Mother Lode,
My household is deeply in debt and we can’t pay our bills. I think the answer to our problem is to get another credit card and have my neighbor pay for it. My neighbor told me to go jump in a lake. I can’t figure out why that upset her so. Do you have any problem with my approach?
Desperately in Debt
Dear Desperately in Debt,
I can understand your confusion. The problem is your sales pitch. Tell your neighbor about all the tremendous benefits she will gain by assuming your debt. And if she refuses to see the light of day, do it anyway and insist it’s for her own good. Tell her that she’s not smart enough to understand your wise actions.
I was just kidding you little moron. Every hear of living within your means?
Hmmmm. I didn’t think so. – TML
