It's finally happened! After years of hiding, the G.O.P. has finally found us, and they're striking back with a vengence. That's right, today when I got home, I got the mail and there it was, a white envelope with the return address of John McCain's Washington office. The Republican presumtive nominee had just wrote to ask me for money. As one would imagine, I was stunned, shocked, scared out of my Democratic mind; but then I remembered something very important: that I live in California. See, there are two things in California that can be found in ample supply. One is waiters with head shots, and the other is staunch, and obscenely rich Republicans. There is nothing wrong with being a Republican (YOU ARE RUINING THINGS!), but when I get sent a survey from your nominee asking me to fill out a survey- I did because I enjoy miffing the G.O.P. in any and every way possible- and give you one THOUSAND dollars for the Victory 2008 committee, I sort of lose my mind. Granted that the only reason we got the letter was because the former owners, who now live in Canada where there are no Republicans, were Republicans that fiercely supported their party, but still. This reminded me that what is going on here is really important, and that no matter ow much we want to brush it off and joke, what happens in this election is going to change American, for better or worse, because yes, it could be SO much worse. So please (I hate to preach) vote, if not in your state's primary than in the general election, because I don't want to have to clean up after you!
