Please Mr. Postman

When I opened my mailbox today I found some of the usual things - the Valu-Pak coupon packet, a bill from Con Edison, Time Out Magazine, some other junk mail - and my October surprise - a letter from the Shariah Queen herself - Sharron Angle.

Right on the cover of the envelope she states her case
I'm running against Harry Reid -- conservatives' #1 foe.  And I need your help!

Inside there is a pre-printed envelope addressed to the Friends of Sharron Angle in Washington, DC.  It also has my name and address printed on the return corner - saving me any chance of getting writer's cramp after writing the check.

Then there is the 4 page letter from Ms. Angle herself (well she did sign it!).  She immediately says she wants me to sign the Dump Reid pledge right away.  Then the Friends of Sharron Angle tell me my $100 donation will go much further in Nevada than in New York.

And then asks again for me to sign the Dump Reid pledge (we are only 1/2 way down the first page).

Then there is the usual GOP talking points about socialized medicine, the stimulus, the Bush tax cuts and that Reid and Obama are joined at the hip.

Then My Sharrona says that defeating Reid would be a knockdown blow to Obama.  She Sharron says:

It's a blow I can -- and will -- deliver.

[that line enough is to deliver comic fodder for a month, but Angle herself is a jokester's dream]

Then there are more nauseating GOP talking points, more pleas for money, more that Harry Reid has a lot of money in his election coffers.  Then Sharron tells me I am her secret weapon (I guess she can tell me anything after just blowing me).  More pleas for money (now she asks for $2400), more requests to sing the Dump Reid pledge, and that she has 10 wonderful grandchildren.  Then she says she is leading Reid by double digits.  And at least 7 more requests to sign the Dump Reid pledge.

Then the Dumb Reid pledge was included - and it is NOT lemon-scented.  I am mailing the Dump Reid pledge in.  I leave the rest to your imagination.


Tonight the 33 miners in Chile that were trapped underground for 70 days were all rescued - safely.  It was one of those feel-good yea stories.  Congratulations to everyone who helped get those men out.

The miners should be glad that it happened in Chile, not the US under the teabaggers.  If that mine disaster had occurred on US soil, each miner would have received the following as they were pulled from underground:
