		<description><![CDATA[Dear Amy, I have become increasingly frustrated with my job over the past several months, due to so called ‘emergencies’ constantly interrupting my vacations and golf lessons. In talking with my wife, I discovered that she wrote to you a few weeks ago, and after doing so, felt much better about her problems. So I thought, ‘what the hell? Let’s give this thing a shot.’ I work in a high stress job, where people count on me to get things done. My performance thus far has been stellar, if I do say so myself, but there are people who constantly criticize me. It’s as if nothing I do is good enough for them, no matter how hard I might try. For instance, there was a catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that occurred, I don’t know, a few days ago I guess. You may have heard about it. Anyway, APPARENTLY I’m supposed to just wave my arms and make it all better. Well, I can’t do that – my arms are simply too sore from yesterday’s round of golf. Besides, I’ve already addressed the nation twice regarding this issue, and I told BP to plug the damn hole. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Amy, I’m writing to you on the recommendation of a friend. After doing a little research and discovering you weren’t Jewish, I decided to take her advice. I was ambushed a couple of weeks ago by an evil rabbi who asked me what I thought of the Israel / Palestine conflict. I told him I believed the Jews should leave Palestine and go back to Germany and Poland where they belong – I was even nice about it! Apparently, though, the people in this country are really uptight. I offer one tiny opinion, a few right wingers complain about it, and suddenly I’m out of the job I’ve held for decades. The White House even said I was wrong! Can you believe such persecution exists in the world? Now people are saying I’m anti-Semitic, which is absolutely not true. Just because I don’t like Jewish people doesn’t mean I’m against them – as long as they live where I tell them to live and don’t talk to or try to approach me, we’ll get along just fine. Anyway, can you help me understand what was so wrong about what I said? Thanks for your help, Helen T. Dear Helen, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Amy, My marriage of over 40 years has suddenly fallen apart , and I feel so lost. I just don&#8217;t understand how this could have happened. We&#8217;ve been going hot and heavy for years now, and by all indications, things were only getting hotter! I even had some of my peers assess our relationship, and they agreed that the average temperature of our marriage was getting warmer every day. However, now there are skeptics claiming that our marriage was actually cooling the entire time! Can you believe that? I have chart after chart containing very official data that claims otherwise, so I know this can&#8217;t possibly be the case. Can you help me figure out what went wrong? Yours, Albert P.S. This letter was written on 100% recycled toilet paper. In case you haven&#8217;t heard over and over and over again, I&#8217;m very concerned about the state of the environment. Dear Al, Don&#8217;t beat yourself up! Those marriage warming skeptics are being willfully obtuse. Of course your marriage was getting hotter- probably dangerously so! Why, I bet if things had worked out, the heat of your marriage would&#8217;ve melted the icy glaciers of her heart by the year 2035.. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Amy, I work hard in what can only be described as a thankless job.. or is it thinkless? Well, either way, nobody ever gives me the respect I deserve! Acting as the liaison between POTUS and the media might sound glamorous, but I’m here to tell you – it stinks! Reporters ask me really hard questions (they’re such meanies!), and even though I’m always one hundred percent open and honest in my responses, people constantly question my ‘morals’ and my ‘ethics’. To top it off, nasty Republicans are making fun of me on Twitter now! It’s a good thing I’m so good at hiding my contempt for them, right? Anyway, please help me- I know you’ll be able to because you’re the smartest, prettiest, most awesomest answer lady in the whole wide world!! Sincerely, Robert Gibbs Dear Gibbs- First of all, do you mind if I call you Gibsy? I don’t want to confuse you with my favorite television character. Second of all, Gibsy, can it with the flattery!  I don’t need constant affirmation.. The only people who require such unwarranted praise and affection are those who are narcissistic, self righteous, and possibly a bit sociopathic. That’s not to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Amy, Due to the incompetency of others, I recently lost my job of 30 years and now I don’t know what to do! As Senator, serving others has been my life’s passion. I fear that nothing can possibly compare to the accomplishment one feels when voting ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on a piece of legislation. Do you think I&#8217;ll ever find fulfillment again? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Your friend, Arlen Dear Arlen, I’m truly sorry about your job loss – people can be so fickle sometimes! Don’t be discouraged though. You’re entering a new and exciting phase in your life, and I think you’ll find plenty of ways to occupy your time. The good news is, you can continue to play Solitaire and surf the internet on your home computer. These are undoubtedly activities to which you have become accustomed, considering all the time you’ve spent on the Senate floor. I mean, who really needs to pay attention to another Republican blathering on about healthcare reform? Besides, it’s not like anything they say, no matter how valid or logical, would ever sway you from your predetermined opinion. If you find yourself becoming bored with reading about those despicable teabaggers, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Amy, We held a dinner party recently in honor of some very special guests from Mexico, or as my husband likes to call it: Southern America. Everything went without a hitch, but the guest of honor kept making snide remarks about our home. I tried to ignore these comments, but then my own husband joined in and agreed! I don&#8217;t know what to do. For the first time in my adult life, I was finally proud of my home. Please help! Sincerely, M.O. Dear M.O., No need to feel conflicted – the pride you’re feeling is totally understandable!  Your husband and his Mexican guest are justified in bashing the United States, as it is light years away from reaching the civility enjoyed in Mexico. Heck, compared to them, we’re practically a third world country.  I mean honestly, when was the last time you were able to enjoy a piña colada at a swim-up bar in the United States? This is the type of luxury that can be found in every major Mexican city. Mexico also understands the meaning of the phrase &#8220;basic human rights.&#8221; They would never create an immigration law such as the one passed in Arizona. I [...]]]></description>
