Comment on Profiles in Fecklessness, part, ummm, I’ve lost count by Morty

Fecklessness, eh? There’s no hope once the sufferer looks in the mirror, says “yes, but on me it wears well” and figures out a way to monetize the pathology. It’s no longer folding, capitulating, accommodating et al after that. Nor is it personal, as the Dutchman’s crony explained, it is just business.

I figured out how to monetize my own pathology and learned to overcome the scorn heaped on those in the ghoulish arts. Gardening helps with that — quite a bit, actually.

Well, whaddaya know:

After sitting in the Beverly Center’s version of a SigAlert (of course we drove; this is L.A.), we were all too ready for a nice meal and a smooth drink. The choices on 3rd include well-reviewed spots such as A.O.C. and Linq. We chose Cynthia’s, where owner Cynthia Hirsh greeted us at the door and gave us the only table available without a reservation: a candlelit spot outside under the heat lamp.

I’m not Informed enought to have said anything.

Yet you don’t let that stop you from blowing hard yourself about things you obviously know nothing about.

My bet: “Cynthia” either works for, is related to, or is Hirsh himself.

U people kill me, you make some grand assumption about something that u know nothing about. The man lives on the street, if his sister was so concerned why didn’t she have him live with her. Or how about you Mr. know it all, maybe you’d let him live with you. Even better u could send him some money oncc a month. I was on Robertson and saw Mr. Hirsh give John a new winter coat and new blankets. Mr. Hirsh checks in with John and makes sure he has everything he needs. Do you or his sister, who’s only pissed that she missed out on getting more of John’s money. Did anyone ask her how much of his social security check she keeps. Until you go out and do something about the homeless stiuation in America or get all the facts regarding someone who can make a difference and does. Maybe you should just keep your blowhard opinion to yourself Mr. I’m not Informed enought to have said anything. Thank you. C.

No. I wouldn’t need to find a place; I can be surly anywhere.

“I think I’ll try and find a place to be surly”
