On Not Making Water on Charles Krauthammer

I am writing today in protest against the movement sweeping the Internet for people to travel to the grave of Charles Krauthammer at some future date, after his passing, where they will make water on his grave. 

Why do I protest? Krauthammer may be as bitter as dirt in your mouth, but he's a clear thinker and a terrific asset to corporate America.  Yes, I know yesterday Krauthammer wrote that the sequester is a trifling matter and predicts that "nothing bad" will happen. Meanwhile, in the same issue of my newspaper, I read that our county's school districts will lose more than $4 million in funds that would have gone for free lunches, reading instruction and language work. But what's wrong with skipping breakfast and lunch for a few years? The children are young. They'll hardly notice, and don't we have too many overweight people already? 

During the sequester "nothing bad" will happen to Charles Krauthammer. That is what matters. He'll be eating the strawberries and heavy cream his contributions to our national dialogue deserve. Let's not even think about his urine-soaked future.
