		<description>The life of a conservative curmudgeon is draining, arising early each day to smack down Chris&#039; &quot;Top of the morning&quot; into a bottomless pit of despair.  In repetition the brain wanes, drawn inexorably to the same jaded rejoinders. Like a weary moth drawn to the dying embers of a once fiery flame, redolent of the acrid odor of ancient brimstone, the mind circles the same spot and, slowly sinking in a slough of despond, sentences contract toward a single monosyllabic slur.

In the spirit of &lt;em&gt;Christmahanukwanzaa&lt;/em&gt; we offer a ray of hope, a modest drop from our bleeding liberal hearts. The &lt;a&gt;Scott Pakin automatic complaint-letter generator&lt;/a&gt; does all the dirty work. The verbal equivalent of Willy Wonka&#039;s chocolate factory it takes any ingredient and fashions it into a voluminous ready-made misanthropic comment, no two alike. Enjoy the link and the following example:
&lt;blockquote&gt;The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter as a contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to examine the social and cultural conditions that lead &lt;em&gt;Progressives&lt;/em&gt; to impose a one-size-fits-all model on how society should function. One of the first facts we should face is that if I seem a bit filthy, it&#039;s only because I&#039;m trying to communicate with it on its own level. Some of &lt;em&gt;Progressives&lt;/em&gt;&#039;s arguments are so convoluted that they require a dictionary, a decoder ring, and a team of scholars to decipher. That&#039;s pretty transparent. What&#039;s not so transparent is the answer to the following question: Where do inhumane spielers like &lt;em&gt;Progressives&lt;/em&gt; come from, and what are we going to do with them? A clue might be that anyone—you or I or a Martian just arrived in a flying saucer—who wants to provide you with vital information that &lt;em&gt;Progressives&lt;/em&gt; has gone to great lengths to prevent you from discovering should realize that you don&#039;t need to be a rocket scientist to detect the subtext of this letter. But just in case it&#039;s too subliminal for some, let me thrust it into your face right here: I would never take a job working for Progressives. Given its nutty propositions, who would want to? Let me close by reminding you that &lt;em&gt;Progressives&lt;/em&gt; frequently engages in violent fantasies involving vitriolic spouters.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Anybody else like a drink of hot chocolate apple cider kool-aid eggnog from the unity cup?</description>
