A Woman's Place Is In the House

Though in the case of Nancy Pelosi I am more than willing to make an exception.

A Letter to Arlen Specter

February 18, 2009

The Honorable Arlen Specter
SH-711 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510-3802

Dear Senator Specter:

I have long been distressed at your penchant for selling out the Republican Party, while still clinging to the benefits of holding that association. If you would simply proclaim your true Democrat colors I would have more respect for you as both a Senator and as a human being.

Which brings me to the purpose of this letter. Your actions in voting for the stimulus bill are the most despicable in your long career. Not only have you once again sold out your fellow Republicans, you have sold out your country as well. This bill does nothing to stimulate the economy, and instead has everything to do with paying off loyal Democrats and buying votes for that party well into the future.

Please know, sir, that I will make it a special point to pray for your health and wellbeing each and every night. I want you to survive your battle with cancer so that you will not only know how thoroughly you have helped to destroy this country, but so that you may also know the humiliation of being defeated in your inevitable re-election bid in 2010. I already have $100.00 earmarked for the campaign of any true Republican who runs against you at that time.

Sincerely,



Jacob D. Vreeland, Jr.
Reagan Republican
Faithful American

Commerce Secretary?

It was with some degree of optimism that I learned Judd Gregg had withdrawn his name from consideration as Commerce Secretary. Perhaps I still had a shot at a government job!

Then I realized I failed to meet a critical qualification. Unfortunately, I have fallen into the bad habit of paying my taxes on an annual basis. Based on the history of other Obama nominees, that would seem to be a disqualifying shortcoming.

Mr. President, would you please be willing to consider me for the job? I've been married long enough that I know a thing or two about commerce. Surely you could overlook that silly tax paying business. Besides, my children would be so proud of their Daddy working for the government, just as your wife finally has reason to be proud.

At least consider it?
