Anyone can feel free to lift anything for almost any reason. Blanket permission granted to anything I write, subject only to the Golden Rule.

IF you're going to make money on it, or blog or whatever, I deserve credit and a cut. Give me what you'd want if our roles were reversed. Writing a letter? Copy and paste away - I'm flattered you'd want to do so!!

Actually - it's "Herr Goebbels" - we're both halfway there... ;)

I **HATE** that I dropped the r on the congress-critter letter...

My two senators (and anyone else from Kommiefornia) are worthless beasts who would promptly have my letter round-filed or simply respond with their standard generic proven-to-be-bullshit return letters.

The longer these asswipes stay in office, the more attractive term-limits look.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

Mine too, but I still send them and so should you, IMHO. If nothing else, it tells them not all their constituents are lefties.

Granted, I won't waste a stamp, but I do use their web/e-mail form, and call them using my unlimited VOIP. Less than 10 minutes to call and e-mail all 3.

Maria Cant[strike]vote[/strike]well won her election by out spending Slade Gorton probably by the same proportion Obama outspent McVain (Good Riddance).

And she violated campaign finance law. (That barely rates a strongly worded letter from the FEC)

And we have Patty Murray :roll:
The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.

I s'pose you can name him anything you want. Hopefully he'll not look like Ol' Josef did at the end, but then I don't suppose you'll be roasting Herr Gobbles with gasoline.

PS: I don't know why, but this reminds me of a story... A man's representing himself in court in a very acrimonious divorce. He keeps referring to his ex-wife as "pig" -- and really emphasizing it, rubbing it in...

"So then ... The Pig said..." or... "So ... PIG ... isn't it true..."

The judge finally gets enough of it and tells him he can no longer refer to her as a pig, under penalty of contempt.

The man smiles, and says

"Bear with me yer honor, I want to be sure I've got this right. You're telling me I can no longer refer to ... "Mrs. Jones" ... as A pig, THE pig, etc."

Judge tells him that's correct - he can call a pig whatever he wants, but he'd better treat Mrs. Jones with some respect.

"Well, Yer Honor, am I allowed to refer to a big ol' nasty, stinkin', fat, disgusting, filthy pig as ... 'Mrs Jones'??

Judge tells him he can call a pig anything he wants, but in THIS court he's not going to accept any man mistreating a woman.

They move on...

The guy looks at his ex-wife, still on the witness stand, smiles big as he possibly can, and says (with the world's most pronounced and perfect diction)

"So.....

p...

uh...

...MRS ... JONES...


...Isn't it true...


The storyteller claimed that everyone - including the wife's Attorney - just busted out laughing -- everyone that is except the Judge who realized how the man had worked him.

He said from then on, every time the man said "....[pause for effect] MRS. JONES [pause for effect] ..." everyone in the courtroom heard "...PIG..." and he knew it because he'd just grin from ear-to-ear every time he said it.

Obviously things didn't turn out so well for MISTER Jones -- Hizzonner was not at all happy with him... Somehow I don't think he cared, much.
