Stupid CPI Games

So the gubmint has this CPI thing all rigged up to steal, basically, from retirees and the clueless masses, yours truly naturally not exempt: they hire allegedly cute (not!) kitties to distract me while I get short-shrifted.

There's now an official FAQ debunking the myth of the evil Bureau of Labor Statistics by explaining "common misconceptions." That's funny, I thought a common misconception was that I'm already large, yet will do anything for food, when in fact I'm chronically systematically starved and merely trying to subsist. Or the vet's indelicately suggesting that I could stand to lose a couple pounds such that I'd put less stress on my stifles (knees). Puh-leeze!

On the other hand, there's this John Williams guy (no, not the Close Encounters/Star Wars/Superman/RotLA composer dude, and not the classical guitarist dude either) who really understands what they're doing, and calls them out on it.

Amazingly, when you put the two together, they're quite complementary. Like I tell you how I'm starving and need a good meal already, or at least a treat or five, and everyone else says--slanderously--that I'm a food whore. Not complimentary, though, as I doubt they have anything nice to say to each other.
