The letter writer noted that most of the pro war demonstrators appeared to be healthy males of an age that would make them eligible for military service, and wondered what they were doing at a pro war demonstration. Seemed that they should be in boot camp, or sitting in Iraq. Wonder if they would change their position if the draft were re-instated.

I think I only paid half of your month's salary for that one. It's actually red with a gold lame' design but it's in the bottom of the closet now. You know I got more class than to wear orange on the Today Show. I'm nothing but class; class is my middle name.

It's good to get back on the networks again! Did you see me on the Today Show yesterday? That Meredith Vieira is quite a firecracker and fun to look at but she wouldn't stop hammering me about corruption in high office. Bitch. What do I know about corruption? I was unfairly hounded out of office by a partisan witch hunt. And I loved telling her that Gonzo should "Fight, Fight" to hold his job (I also loved that she didn't come back at me with - <em>Well you quit fighting and resigned your seat in Congress.</em> That was close. I'll have to think up a good comeback for that one.) I glad I wrote that book, "No Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight" (well, I wrote part of it. Okay, I ranted into a tape recorder and a ghost writer punched it up.). I now that I'm doing the book tour, I have a platform for my political comeback. YeeeeeHawwww! My GOD!!!

I go to lots of marches, after work, the Fed Building is 2 blocks away. This one was skimpy. Maybe the rain, or the other march hadn't met up yet... but as I walked up the street past the peds and commuters I wanted to shout Why Weren't You over There? Are you FOR the war? I know they weren't, just trying to get home and have dinner. But damn, we need the body count at the marches, it is always underestimated by the press and we need to exagerate that body count to off-set the one from the warfront. I believe it is a message that will finally be heard. We need to shout it. The message is always distorted. Go look at "Barricades were not Thrown" on the YouTubes. Last week's protest in Tacoma, that got distorted coverage. Cop later corrected his statement, but who pays any attention after the first broadcast? Sigh.

We had such good times together, I could always count on you... Anyway, yesterday I kept hearing news reports that compared these dismal fourth-anniversary observances to the public outpouring of support in '03 at the start of the war. Am I the only one who remembers the millions around the world who marched against the war in February '03? We were out there, but W dismissed us as a "focus group."

Which means I have to conceal it among several jokes, over time, with a variety of aliases. Maybe you should just assume that the next few tasteless jokes are mine. But no...some evildoer will post <i>incredibly</i> tasteless jokes just to make me look bad, 'cause you'll assume they're mine. Whatever will I do... Murray and David,
