It has come to our attention that tomorrow Lou Dobbs is running a hit piece on the "Deep Pocketted Lobby" to legalize Marijuana.
We, said Deep Pocketted Lobby, apologize for the short notice, but we just got home from running a money order over to the electric company office to get our power turned back on. Also we can't afford cable, so we didn't notice until today. Actually we should have known yesterday since someone sent us an email, but between you and me who has time to check their email between working two shifts and clipping coupons?
Speaking of which...
...we all really have to go to work tomorrow. We burned off all our sick and vacation days on visits to the free medical clinic, the DMV, the veterinarian, our mechanic, the excise tax collector's office, and all those other places that only seem to be open when we are working and take more than a 30 minute lunch break to go to.
So not one of us will be able to take time out to lurk Dobb's site and post a link to his online poll, should he be so daring as to ask a question our supporters would disagree with him on. We'd really appreciate it if someone could do that, sorry. Larry was going to but his boss said one more late punch-in and he's canned.
And our bubblejets are all out of ink (damn cartridges cost as much as the printer did,) so we won't be able to make any posters to go with this event to counter the spin that Califano will try to lay on Dobb's audience.
Plus we may have forgotten the password to our website. Bruce had it written down on an old Dunkin Donuts napkin and I think it got used to clean the windows.
We were just going to point you here but it looks like they have their own troubles. Come to think of it the last time they sent me a letter, it had a funny cartoon on the outside with a few bedraggled knights staving off a giant three headed "Drug War" dragon, appealing for help at the gates of "Castle Foundations" where they were told "Why don't you go to Soros?" It was just black and white but we were pretty impressed they could pull off a custom-printed envelope.
I thought it was funny then, at least, maybe not so much now.
Anyway best of luck with that folks, sorry we could not be of more help this time around. Nelly may get a break with her neck injury disability soon and get her state payments restored, and if she isn't too bleary from her meds maybe we'll be more on the ball next time.
