I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of calculated half-apologies
Or the beauty of condescension,
The microphone hissing
Or just after.
My friend “Snarly” hits it out of the park at SorryWatch with “Thirteen Ways at Looking at a Cynical Apology,” as she vivisects Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson’s …attempt. This reminds me a lot of my friend Elaine’s Political Verses blog she kept during the 2009-11 years, to express her frustration and disgust with the media. This replay on “Thirteen Ways” is biting, acerbic, and brilliant.
