Update on Wednesday Essay Contest Controversy

I am disappointed to report that the Wednesday Essay Contest controversy has become quite contentious.

On behalf of my beloved Agleteers, who number in the millions and who honor me regularly by hanging a Supreme Aglet action figure from their car mirror, I met with the leader of each group (the Essaycrats and Agleteericans). They have taken their positions very seriously and each is vying for control of the Wednesday edition of The Supreme Aglet.

This meeting was reported in several national news sources, but the gist of it is that the rift between Essaycrats and Agleteericans is very real and causes me distress. It is quite a shame considering that these are all quite accomplished individuals--as is the case with all Supreme Aglet readers--and that what they share in common far exceeds their petty disagreements.

In any case, it is my hope that you will all conduct yourselves congenially as we work through this contentious time. If any of you are experiencing an unusual amount of distress, please feel free to purchase a Supreme Aglet stress ball from the Web site. I have marked them up $3 a piece in order to profit from this delicate situation, but I am also including self-adhesive stamps (used) on the box in which the item(s) are delivered to your home, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
