1. good for you

not only is Bush in a bubble, but his most rabid proselityzing-by-email supporters are too.

It's fun to burst their bubble.

I had an ultra-con cousin who was sending me stuff until I finally said to please stop sending me e-mails. She called me a liberal freak and said I would no longer be invited to the family reunions in middle'o'nowhere Kansas, which is really funny since my partner and I have been there a few times and everyone likes both of us boys.

I think many people who get those emails are just too polite to reply and the other eight out of ten sane people who don't have republican rabies just quietly delete them.

3. The MOST infuriating thing about the Heinz ketchup thing:

IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH JOHN KERRY! How can it be a flip-flop when Heinz ketchup is not owned by, run by, or even influenced by John Kerry? That irks me so bad.
