The names of the individuals and the organization have been changed. The hilarity is all true.
We belong to a biking club. Most of the people in the group are very laid-back, fun people. We're by no means all tree-huggers. There are a fair number of conservatives in the group. But we all share an appreciation for the outdoors and don't talk politics much.
One of us went Galt - over HCR.
This fella is a volunteer leader. Let's call him Glenn, just for fun. Today he sent round an email to all the other volunteers, ranting about fascism and how he can't contribute by money or time to an organization where others in the group supported HCR.
Going Galt. Punishing us by removing his expertise. Making us regret our folly when we miss him. Oh, how sorry we'll be when we realize the folly of our ways.
Rolling. on. the. floor. laughing.
Mr. Tracker asked how Glen got so crazy. I replied, "He watches Fox News. He listens to Rush. He watches Glenn Beck. He's been programed to insanity."
I wonder how long before Glenn notices nobody's begging him to reconsider? I wonder when he'll start to miss the fun of biking with the group and "generously" offer to come back?
What a maroon.
