Yesterday on the way home I noticed men installing what looked like awnings on the sides of a hoity-toity restaurant housed in an old brokerage. Why does this building need awnings? Today on the way to work I noticed twenty-five big rigs around the premises and lots of silver-trimmed black boxes with handles, and lots of cables, and the windows covered with black curtains, and I instantly rolled my eyes, and I knew someone who thinks he's important was there -- and sure enough I saw


THE LORD GOD SUMNER'S LOGO, which made me think, uh oh, another bad romantic comedy -- and another excuse for EDDIE to boast about all the jobs for waiters and janitors and bellhops he's creating for the 21st-century economy. Which made me think, why do they need all this heavy-lifting and heavy equipment for a flop? Didn't SUMNER boast about how His company disseminated a zillion-dollar-B. O. excretion someone made for $10,000? Why all this expensive nonsense when people only see tentpoles? Oh, I guess there's a market for bad romantic comedies. Well why must it be on my dime -- as I'm sure SUMNERIA isn't paying ONE THIN ONE for fees or taxes, or spending any money on local businesses?

Oh. It's because someone thinks he's important.
