And MORE Mail

This one is dated "Wednesday Morning." Any and all Wednesdays. It starts:

Dear Mrs. Noggle, I don't want to believe you've abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask...Have you given up?

Why, yes, I gave it up for lent.

Our records show we have not yet received your 2003 Republican National Committee membership contribution!

Your records would be correct, sir. I bet if your computer took the time, it would notice that it didn't receive 2002, didn't receive 2001, etc.

As the Treasurer of the RNC, I know our Party's success depends directly on grassroots leaders like you, Mrs. Noggle.

Diggity-do! Really? I like my leadership role. I don't send money; I occasionally give you my vote, actually, more often than not. You send me letters that feed me grapes all the while chastizing my poor performance as a cash cow.

So I am surprised and concerned because I know how generously you have helped in the past and how instrumental your support was to our historic victories in 2002.

Lovely. My vote counts.

So, while you're at it, Republican party, please stop sending correspondence to the Nobbles. I promise they don't live here. And President Bush, since you're "counting on me," perhaps on Thursday morning you can give me a call and we'll discuss the country. I'll be waiting.

Oh, I almost missed this gem:

With our majorities in the U.S. House and Senate razor thin, the Democrats and their liberal special interest allies will obstruct and delay every chance they get. We cannot allow them to succeed!

How does one obstruct a chance or delay it? Oh, and, yes, the rallying cry. Earth will be ours!
