Pack your bags, because we're going on a guilt trip! Spare me. But then, her music reflects the same violent attempts at heart-tugging and emotion as her letters do. Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: How many Jewish mothers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None. "Don't worry about me. I'll just sit here in the dark. I'll be fine."

That's probably the only thing Eric has ever written that made me think, "Wait. That's going too far." It's also the only column on this site (as far as I've ever known) that has a *well thought-out, polite, NON-STUPID* "angry" letter (although this one couldn't really be described as angry) attached at the end. Of course, under all other circumstances, "good" angry letters (i. e. they're not ludicrous/funny) never get reprinted here. Well phrased, organized, correctly-spelled, tactfully employed complaints? WHAT FUN IS THAT?! ...Oh, wait, you could count the cease-and-desist letter directed towards "Jihad to Be You" as a "good" angry letter... Nah.
