NBC, build up the wall that is supposed to separate you from the juvenile and ideological MSNBC.

China, built up the wall that will restore Tibet to nationhood. (You have lots of experience with walls.)

North Korea, wall in the President's palace and make him watch North Korean movies all day long.

Pakistan, built up the wall between yourselves and Afghanistan to shut off the terrorists.

Afghanistan, wall off your corrupt politicians from power and wall off any exports of opium.

THE ENEMY WITHIN
Re: David Govett's letter (under "Gutless Wonders") in Reader Mail's Republican Surge:

Thanks, David Govett, for letting us on the north Peninsula south of SF, know that Republicans are no more vocal in Davis than we suffer here. I tried to call Republican Headquarters in San Mateo County and they aren't even listed in the telephone directory. I persisted in my search, finally got it. Called three times in three weeks, speaking only to an answer machine. When I finally got a return call. I mentioned that they were pretty slow in response. The lame explanation was "Well, we are all volunteers..." Not very enthusiastic ones, would be my guess.

Perhaps they aren't really needed, as no one is clamoring for bumper stickers, yard signs and the like. The streets of Pacifica on south to Stanford are awash with Obama bumper strips. Republicans think more of the finish on their car than they do of their party. When I sported Bush/Cheney strips in 2000 on my two year old car and in 2004 on a 3 month old one, when I decided I needed a 4-door I offered spares to friends, who recoiled in horror at the thought of having their car "keyed" by an angry liberal.

From the number of Conservatives (who have probably never donated to the party) who say "this year I am not sending them a dime" to the malcontents who remind us daily that John Mc Cain is not their choice but they will grudgingly vote...to the cowards who will not show their support of the party on their precious car bumpers, I'd say we are a party that deserves to lose to the insane zealots who support Obama.

It didn't take long for the deceased Tom Lantos' seat to be filled with another Democrat. I called RNC to ask why they never put any money into fielding a decent candidate for our district. The answer was they considered the money better spent in a district they had a chance of winning. I then asked them what district my donation was supporting, as it was not my own. No answer.

Pogo had it right. We have met the enemy he is us.
