Hi Muffy,
I owe you a letter, but this is worth blogging, too! So, hope you don’t mind if I am letter/blogging!!!! First, you must must must go read this from the excellent Michelle Malkin.
She has all kinds of fashion hints for would-be community organizers and mob or rabble member people. These terms supposedly include people like us! I have been as appalled as you at what President Obama has been proposing: government growing exponentially, and paid for how???
So I thought I should do some shopping! If I’m going to go join the dangerous mob of malcontents and dissidents, I figure I ought to be properly kitted out, no? So I went to the local home and garden place! It was my aim to go get a pitchfork. I think those things, plus torches are what really make a classic mob, don’t you?
Ha, I lucked out – we have a “community” “organizer” in the White House, and here this store is having some kind of Organization Event!
So I look at the garden supplies for the pitchforks. Hmm, not here…
Oh look, they carry our Revolutionary Flag! Super! Things are looking up!
Look, paint chips! Pretty!
But, as they say in Democratic circles, “That’s just a distraction.” Ah, this is what I came for: a pitchfork!
But, are you kidding me? Muffy, they wanted $34 for one of these! I’m not a trust fund baby, and I can assure you that no one is paying me to attend any rally or meeting to protest Logan’s Run style health care! I can tell you my Republican Woman’s Club has NEVER paid me to have or express an opinion! I am going on my own because I think Obama’s ideas are outrageous and it is my right to say so.
I didn’t buy the pitchfork. I have no need for one. I’m no more a dangerous and violent person than you are, Muffy! When I go to protest the creeping socialism the Democrats are trying to foist off on us, I will bring my camera and iPhone (thus, Internet connection). Sunlight, disinfectant: those are powerful weapons, if we will use them, against dishonest politicians.
And I don’t want to be mistaken for some sort of Hippie, so I will be dressed as I often am, in my Brooks Brothers blazer, and pearls. With a white T-shirt, for the common touch. (See the elephant scarf? So cute!)
Muffy, you too read up and speak up. It’s our right as citizens. Dressed like hippies or preppies.
