Well-Worth Reading

I love the work of Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri. Her latest is one of her best, titled -- "I see no choice but to resign from this Death Star as it begins to explode." And it's even funnier and more insightful than its title.

Here's just the opening --

"It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of responsibility that I must submit my resignation, effective immediately, from my post on this Death Star. However, I see no other choice.

"Now is the time for all of us to stand up from our posts and do what is right.

"It’s been an honor to work on this Death Star. I love the aesthetic. I love how I’ve been able to pursue my greatest passion: destroying planets and pressing buttons..." 

And what is so funny, too, when reading it (beyond the politics underneath it all) is that it’s clear what a huge fan she is of the Star Wars saga and knows its details intimately.

I hope you can read it without a subscription.  The link to it is here.
