Diversity…..and other overused words
Veronica is my nefarious Tarot reading twin. At night she slinks through the streets under the cover of darkness, hunting for young, unsuspecting man-meat. By daylight she naps, writes filth and eats bon bons. But on Fridays, she reads Tarot – for you, right here…
Diversity is the new buzz word on everybody’s lips these days.

Have you ever met someone who blabbered on and on about how open and transparent they were? “I’m basically an open book. What you see is what you get,” blah blah blah.
And then you find out they have a secret, sordid life of money laundering, cocaine parties and eating at McDonald’s.
