Tough Talk,
I run a program for people getting past some tough times and we read your columns everyday (at least when you have decided to bless us with your advice). We are so proud of you and all you do. We would like to have our group acknowledged and wonder what is the best way to seek recognition and acclamation? (Leroy, Vermont)
L. Fletcher,
Best thing you can do is find the local politician that you hate the most and put a bug up his or her ass on a daily basis. Give him or her no quarter and ruthlessly criticize their incompetence. You have no choice in the matter if you want truly want recognition. It will be a heartwarming and charitable endeavor. But most importantly, you will feel good about yourself.
