What was at first a trickle has now become something of a flood. A few weeks ago my wife got a mailing from a right wing organization of some sort. These things happen, and we assumed it was just an anomaly. However, since then missives from the right wingers have been appearing with ever more frequency. Along with solicitations from candidates, she was also invited to stop the ACLU dead in its tracks. Today it was Sharron Angle and David Vitter, leading me to conclude that she has somehow found her way onto a fairly extreme, if not exclusive, mailing list.
This is all something of a mystery, but it does give us a chance, however petty and trivial, to cost these groups just a little bit of money. The return envelopes are all prepaid, so she just seals them up and senda them back, sans contents of any kind.
Lest anyone suspect, I am sure my wife has not gone over to the dark side. She has not behaved peculiarly in any way, and she still sputters with outrage whenever Jon Stewart strains to show some sort of equivalence between Obama and the Republicans.
I should probably actually read these mailings, but I can’t bring myself to do so. Why raise your blood pressure to no end?
