This appeared in the local newspaper today; sorry, no link, because it's only a small-town weekly newspaper. This was in response to a letter I had written a month ago, noting that a tea party would be held up here, and a letter to Senator Nelson available for signing, protesting the socioeconomic policies of Pa Kettle in the White House.
The tea party, as everyone knows, is already said-and-done; 204 attendees in a town of 1500, the only "publicity" having been that letter to the editor.
Anyway, I know how these things are done. The letter was probably written by an unpaid office intern, a sophomore in college majoring in political science or something, a True Believer indignant that someone dare questions Pa Kettle in the White House, and signed by autopen.
In real life, Ben Nelson's a nice guy, as is franksolich; we just happen to disagree.

Ping for the list, although it’s politics, not short story; sorry. But I really think the distinguished senior U.S. Senator from Nebraska should administer “reading comprehension” examinations for his staff, so they read what’s written, before they compose a letter and autopen it.
Frank, are you gonna get the Bobcats to a bowl game?
His letter was too wordy and boring for many people to read. Congratulations on the good job in your area.
That means you've been doing great work for many years, my FRiend.
