Lies and damned lies

I got a fund-raising letter from the McCain campaign in the mail yesterday.

It's chock-full of the sort of half-truths and outright lies that I expected.

If I had the time and inclination, I'd highlight all the wrongnesses and send it back to them.

As it is, I haven't the time nor the inclination. I am seriously considering getting my hot pink highlighter out and writing NO WAY on the first page of the letter and sending it back to them.

On their 42 cents.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
