I hid in the basement by myself tonight and downloaded the State’s finance reporting software and sorted the donations from the first three days of my fund drive.(Its cool down her on a warm night) What a hassle. My dear wife did this for me eight years ago. However, after leading her to believe I would never run for office again I don’t have the audacity to ask her to help me this time.
So, that left me putzing around until past the evening news. That meant that Saturday Night Live had started. Betty White was a hoot so I decided to give it a chance while I printed out the 45 pages of software instruction. Jude Law is the guest and he had a very funny opening monologue.
During the show I checked the [oh, its still on and I see SNL is a rerun – its still funny but I’ll turn it off. I’m singing at church tomorrow and the Congressman Massa bit just sent me in the opposite direction] checked my email. That led me to open an email from my friend in the foreign service who is currently in Afghanistan. It was short. It mentioned of all people He wrote:
“Miracles never cease to amaze” followed by a news blurb about the GOP’s Party Chair Michael Steele being seconded by Ann Coulter on the idea of scurrying out of Afghanistan.
Ann Coulter!
I wrote back the following:
Ann too, huh?
*******, My hope is for great disarray in the GOP. This is good news for Obama but not necessarily for Afghanistan. I’m not sure what could be done for the Afghans.
I would have argued in the Vietnam years that the best way to fight communism was by trading with them and giving them a taste of the benefits of free enterprise. This is just what seems to have happened. Too bad we had to spray the country from head to toe with Agent Orange first.
If only all the Afghan opium dealers distribute cell phones to everyone after we leave.
Harry
My friend sent me back another email. “Well Said Harry,” he wrote.
By this time I’d done a little search on Coulter which led me to discover that I had to correct a post from a couple days ago which surmised that only liberals have gotten fired lately from media jobs for being politically incorrect. Not so. Ann was one of two “conservative media types fired for “conservative” Moslem bashing comments.
Apparently the firing only made her more popular with her crowd and presumably enhanced her earning power. She’s s babe and writes “conservative” books too. Sound like any one else you know?
