Dear spammer — all of you:

First, I’d like to tell you how much I appreciate your concern with my sex life. Thank you all the same, but I don’t need Viagra at the moment. I will keep you in mind just in case I do, however.

Speaking of, I’m also not in the market for midget sex, farm girls getting it on with the livestock, pantyhose bondage, or whatever the kink du jour may be. But again, I’ll keep you in mind, should that change.

As for vitamins, pseudo-steroids, and “holistic” meds, I’m sure I can more easily fill up my bathroom cabinet from one of the many local drugstores or Wal-Mart. After all, if I suddenly find myself jonesing for a Flintstones vitamin, I can run down the road and pick them up, instead of having to give you my Visa number and wait and wait and wait … and admit it, nobody wants to wait on their grape-flavored Freds!

Then all of you who write to tell me I (or my email addy) have won some lottery, well, go ahead and send me the bucks. But sorry, I’m busy, and I just can’t be bothered to click on your links to claim it.

Or those of you who seem to think I need another degree, well, I don’t. Read the blog if you don’t believe me. The last thing I want is another degree, but thanks anyway.

And I really don’t need any more software, nor do I need to know who has the lowest prices on outdated software (I know you hope I don’t notice that it’s outdated). I’m not interested in another cell phone, but if I ever am, I’ll run over to Best Buy, if it’s all the same to you.

Now if you don’t mind, I have a lot of spam in my inbox to delete.

You can now subscribe to comments. Underneath the comment box, check it. When somebody replies to that same article, you’ll get an email message with a link.

I think it works. Seems to, anyway.

If you’re wondering why you commented, then never saw it … well, I thought I had wordpress configured to email me whenever there was a comment to be moderated. Oops, I didn’t. They’re all up now — and I’m no longer moderating comments.

Sorry.

Dear Sir:

Are you aware that our party has majorities in both houses of Congress? Are you aware that our party elected a President in 2004? And are you aware that our party controls more state legislatures than the Democrats?

I was just asking, since you seem not to know these things. In fact, I’ve been scratching my head for the last year wondering if it was only a dream, and the Democrats took both houses of Congress. You see, I was wondering this because of all the kowtowing you have done to liberals and liberal special interest groups.

You have postponed the hearings on Judge Alito. You have not make the President’s tax cuts permanent. You have summoned CEOs to explain why they did their job: generating profits for their shareholders. You have expanded the Federal government to hitherto unknown levels, and passed more pork in your legislation than any Democratic Congress. You have refused to work to privatize Social Security and Medicare, or reduce the size of the welfare state. You have passed tariffs and expanded subsidies that should be cut altogether. You have passed a “torture bill” in an attempt to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong, how we conduct war. And now, you have decided to pander to the enviro-nutjobs (and “moderate” Republicans) by not drilling in Alaska or offshore, thereby reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

I don’t think even in the 70s, my list of grievances with Congress was as long as it is now — and that’s saying a great deal.

I suggest that if you want to remain where you are, and not get tossed out on your ear by us conservative Republicans, you had better start acting like you won the election and vote like a conservative.

And I do mean that very seriously.

Well, time to write your Congresscritters again. Seems fifteen “moderate” Republicans didn’t like the budget bill because too much pork was slashed, and they didn’t want to drill ANWR.

That’s the first thing. The second thing is to target these fifteen for defeat.

If you don’t know who your Congresscritters are, or do, but don’t know how to get hold of them, go here (courtesy of the NRA). My letters are already in the mail.

The question is why do these dolts call themselves Republicans, and how did they get elected? Since when did Republicans kiss greenpeace butt? And why aren’t the national and state parties dressing them down?

H/T to Michelle Malkin, where you can get further info.

We should have learned from Vietnam not to let the legislature encroach on the duties of the executive branch and run wars. We also should have learned from 9/11 that passing legislation to hamstring intelligence was less than a brilliant idea.

Apparently, we have learned neither, to judge from the Senate vote for the so-called “torture bill.” And if that weren’t enough, for the first time in US history, we now have the judicial branch sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong and trying to run the war.
