Dear Stuck in Colorado, Indeed you do appear to have the exuberance and vivaciousness required to be a valuable member of a 'people' team. Your anxiousness to make a move is well timed, too. Today's climate offers the person person a myriad of opportunities for change and advancement --and, it's very easy to do! Select a politician whose platform is abominable to you, and give an interview with the local news media claiming to have had an ongoing affair with this individual. Due to recent changes in the attitudes of the public, it is no longer necessary to ensure that they are of the opposite gender as yourself. Reaction of the job market is swift, and before you know it, you'll be swamped with offers from many of todays most popular publications and broadcasters. Just think, in only days you may ride the swell from your boring and lackluster position to the pages of Cosmopolitan, Playboy, and even the New York Times! You'll have the opportunity to interract with MILLIONS through the auspices of Donohue, Geraldo, Oprah and Sally Jesse Raphael! Countless people will hang on your every word as the cameras move in for extreme close-up on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and crowds will "woof-woof-woof" you on Arsenio! Sound terrific? IT IS! Not only that, but you'll be performing one of the only remaining political activism avenues left for Americans. Think of it! Money, fame, notoriety and fun, fun, fun! If you have reservations about your ability to make this leap to the best your life can be, we can help! Our organization offers classes in the appropriate diplomacy of provocateurism and exploitation. Our rates are highly competetive too!
