I guess we "fit the profile"...upper middle class suburban, white family with a house, kids and so on. Also we're active in civic activities...PTA, Girl Scouts, etc. One way or another my wife and I get a daily spamming of GOOP mail. Right now most are for the local candidates and an occasional one for our fossilized Congressman (Crane) and their game show host senate candidate (Jack "Smile Barak" Ryan).
The ones I love the most are the occasional RNC letters...always some urgent appeal that unless I run and cut a $50 check, the sky will fall and the liberals will over-run the planet. Two weeks ago, my wife got one that we couldn't resist having fun with.
Inside a large 8 x 11 envelope is a glossy pic of Pickles and the Boy Blunder with the inscription:
To: (my wife's name), Thank you for your early commitment and dedication as a Charter Member of the campaign in Illinois. Grassroot leaders like you are the key to building a winning team.
Best wishes, Laura Bush & Shitforbrains
OK...so I added the last part, but the rest is verbatim. We read it and laughed. Not a mention of the GOOP. We figured "hey, thanks for knowing how much we've already given to defeat your ass and that we still need to work harder"...we then went and wrote some more checks to several needy congressional campaigns (We support the Kos folks!)
Then, I placed the picture in my office...next to a little statue I have of a little boy who will "pee" a shot (a novelty I inherited)...I have him now turned with full aim on the royal couple within easy eyesight of anyone who walks in here. We thank the RNC for providing such great amusement and to keep those cards and letters coming.
Footnote: if I can find a place to post it, I'll gladly post this picture, it's a gem...and someone with Photoshop could have a field day with it. In fact, if someone wants to play around with it...PM me and I'll scan & email it. I'll also include a pic of it sitting in the office with the little statue peeing on it!
Cheers!
