"I'm ____, and I approved this message."

A technician from the home security company I use was at my house today, and I heard his smart phone play an unusual tone: “I’m (cadet bone spurs) and I approved this message.” Apparently, someone just sent him a text message, and he’d programmed his phone to play that sound clip whenever a message is received. Very clever for a drumpf-humper!

Because I needed him to finish the installation, I decided that — since discretion is the better part of valor — I’d valiantly ignore it for the time being.

And after he left, it occurred to me: let’s fight fire with fire (instead of ire). Why don’t we program our phones to play a similar tone when a text message arrives?

So here’s my idea: in replies to this post, please include a link to your favorite Democratic candidate saying s/he approved “this message.” And then program your phone to play it with your incoming texts. The links should include a downloadable MP3 file which could be copied and converted to a tone playable on various devices.

Let’s show others that we’re just as clever as — and even more resourceful than — people who (blindly) follow the inevitable 2020 presidential opponent!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
