Dear Tabby: I am a most gifted man. But whenever I draw attention to my accomplishments people ridicule me. They say I suffer from hubris, which means excessive pride and I tend to patronize others. For example when I bravely came out in favor of same-sex marriage, they said it was just an attempt to distract voters from the economy, rather than the world-changing event that it was. I am on the right side of history. What can I do to make people have greater respect for my achievements? --Puzzled , Pennsylvania Avenue, D.C
Dear Puzzled: First of all, I know what hubris is, you patronizing prick. Secondly, you are a pathetic whiner. Get over yourself. I'm sick of your refusal to take responsibility for your own failures. Thirdly, why should I -- or anybody else-- give a Fluke about your self-esteem when you are a man of little achievement and even less talent. You couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery, as the Brits say.
What's the solution? I recommend hiring someone to kick the crap out of you. You will find there are plenty of people in need of a job and who would relish doing so. Works for me.-- Tabby.
