Vera, congratulations on your first post here. A delightful change from the usual. I believe you’ll take this site, at last, to the level it deserves.

Amazingly obvious – mass mailings are a simply way to reach those who may not wish to engage in discussion – as this forum seemingly has decided to do.

#11: Horseradish? Is that anything like horsesapples?

Question, If a deli had a Noam Chomsky Sandwich on the menu, what would the ingredients be?

Pork belly slathered in bitter herbs and covered with horseradish, served with an American-flag napkin to wipe your face.

And then when you finish, you have to go into the bathroom and throw it up because you just offended al-Qaeda by eating pork.

This is the same Noam Chomsky who freely admits that he invests his substantial income and and assets on Wall Street…including in our defense contractors…since it’s a good return on investment? Must be nice to be a rich anti-war anti-American socialist and have Exxon-Mobil, Boeing, Lockheed and General Dynamics in your growing portfolio. What, no Blackwater?…

Send them an American Flag sticker. The flag seems to piss progressives off.

Vera, just send them a cheap (photocopied), big grinning portrait of Ronald Reagan.

I like the mailings with a long “member poll” to return – about what the progressive group should work on next, etc. On occasion, I return it with all the “wrong” (i.e., right) answers checked. They probably just throw them all out, but at least the person on the other end had to spend 20 seconds flipping through the pages for a check they won’t find. And anyway the poll gave me a laugh, and you never know, they might read one sometime.

The good news is, this ‘gentleman’ wasted postage mailing this to you, dear Vera.

The bad news is, this ‘gentleman’s’ organization is probably one of those oxymoronic (on many levels) “not for profit” groups who can deduct the postage from the taxes they probably don’t even pay in the first place.

I do tend to ramble in the morning.

How did you even get on Chumpsky’s mailing list anyway?

How about using the stamp (or perhaps the envelope) to send a card or note to our troops.
