3D-Ang,
Some great folks in Pueblo (pronounced Pee-eblah by the O.G.s), and though it’s not very metropolitan, it was once famous for smelling like egg-farts due to the high-sulphur coal burned in its steel-mill smelts. At least it’s not the town of SWINK, which I think may have exploded in the late 80’s. :0)
“A testament to the efficiency of Obama’s organisation: that morning I had received an email inviting me to contribute to his campaign and enter a draw to join him in Chicago on election night, signed, with a degree of easy familiarity that I had no idea we shared, “Barack’’.”
Receipt of that email is actually a testament to the fact that the “journalist” writing this “piece” — who appears to be a UK citizen, though I can’t say — had ALREADY contributed to Obama’s campaign.
A colleague of mine gave $$$ to BO. He showed us the emails he then began receiving; they were signed “Barack” & invited him to PA events. Even he — a certified Kool-Aid drinker — was repelled when BHO asked for yet more $$ after the infomercial buy. Particularly when I pointed out that BO must need to “spread my colleague’s wealth” to BO’s relatives, since BO couldn’t be bothered. Nor could he be bothered to send this guy the car magnet he was promised after his first contribution. Bummer. First promise broken...
Glad to see proof of contributions from the foreign media in our race.
