Ah, Valentine's Day! Love is in the air, and so is the scent of profits to be corralled by florists, greeting card makers, and chocolatiers throughout the land. Forgive my cynicism, but it's hard to get all dewy and gooey after reading about a love affair between a human and a dolphin. But I digress. The following is a pictorial on how to ruin Valentine's Day, courtesy of our friends at the Republican National Committee. Their series had six items. I have added a couple of my own at the end. Can't you just feel the love? 1. Wallow by yourself. 2. Do the same thing year, after year, after YEAR. 3. Stick your Valentine with a huge tab. 4. Follow your Valentine, or a reporter, into the bathroom. 5. Flirt with someone else. 6. Don't show up. 7. Betray your valentine... 7a. And hook-up with a new one. For real, a Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! Cross-posted at The Lid
