The Public Optics Problem

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that, without publicity, no good is permanent; under the auspices of publicity, no evil can continue. And although this is an old take on government transparency, never has it been more apparently true. This author seeks to enlighten you, dear reader, as to how it seems government, and more particularly education, has allowed itself to fall so far from the ideals that it claims to hold dear. Our recently departed King will make a most suitable example – but make no mistake – this is not a problem plaguing our kingdom alone. In …

Queen Seeks Lost Family Fortune to Alleviate Kingdom’s Funding Woes

Dearest Gentle Reader, While the advent of St. Patrick’s Day is often celebrated amongst green beer-swilling Irish fanatics, our Queen has been forced to focus her attention on her current predicament. As most of you know, our Queen has been facing much public scrutiny and derision, mostly  relating to her undying support of the current King. In order to rescue her good-works public persona, she knew that she needed a positive PR event of epic proportions. Her cunning plan? To unravel the secrets behind a family mystery leading to riches beyond the dreams of avarice. For certainly becoming the financial …

The Latest On Dit for March 7

Dearest Gentle Readers, Oh my! This week has been a whirlwind of news, speculation, and social media commentary. For those of you who depend on this author to deliver the news, in a nutshell, here is what happened this week. Since the posting of last week’s On Dit, The Bored called a special meeting to discuss the latest Kingly snafus. After a lengthy meeting on Monday, everyone was informed that they would be hearing from the King. What came out later that evening was the most obvious non-apologetic apology letter ever  written. (Wouldn’t it be interesting to have read the …

And this news is hotter than Satan’s bath water as the story broke just this morning. Here is the latest offending post. Again, if you weren’t up early, you missed it, because we have yet another dirty delete. This is becoming quite the habit.

The Queen’s New Consort

Dearest Gentle Reader – It has been said that, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance,” and if so, then the Queen has already found a perfect match in herself. It is always with baited breath that the Kingdom sits in rapt attention to the Queen’s relationship with each new King. It has become quite evident that the Queen is not interested in the finer points of intellectual discourse or rational thought, but is only piqued by the power vested in the position. With both the current King and the previous one, the Queen virtually cuddled up …

The Latest On Dit for February 7th

A New Member of the Bored With the passing of member Pester Brown, the bored is once again required to select a replacement to grace their supposedly august body.

Rumours

Dearest Gentle Reader, This author took a much needed break from the trials and tribulations of kingdom drama. You would think that holiday celebrations would have moderated the slow descent into dissolution, but this is where you are wrong. Despite the extra grace granted to us by nature’s gentle ministration, our royal overlords continued to plan the eventual destruction of the Kingdom as we know it – for it has been said that narcissists try to destroy your life with lies because they know theirs can be destroyed with the truth. And never has this been more true.  Here are …

The Nightmare Before Testing

Dearest Gentle Reader, Come and gather round the fire while I relate to you this strangest of tales. Alas, that there are no ghosts to bring holiday redemption or hearts bursting into joyfulness and expanding with love (time three no less!), but sometimes true tales do not sport such happy endings. Our tale begins one day in the late autumn in a small village called Stewarttown. Now this town had a mayor named Burgerspinster Spinsterburger. Even though he actually held the title of mayor, he was essentially its dictator. And Burgerspinster Spinsterburger’s tiny shriveled heart held a secret. Inside his …
