The Governor asked me to write you...

Well at least he/she is still writing you....

Maybe you can get the Governor to pay you to NOT grow potatoes...

All the cool kids are doing it.

I got a congratulations card from the govoner when my son was born.

We didn't know him; it was a nice idea but seemed a bit disingenuous, really.

The only time politicians ever contact me is with form letters when they want my vote.

I sent the governor a nice thank you note after my stay of execution.

I often get letters from high-ranking government administrators in Nigeria . . .

my gov'ner is my butler. he buttles. i call him gov'ner. "gov'ner, please...get daddy a chocolate martini! daddy wants it now, gov'ner."

I met a few governors, but David Patterson was my favorite. Jessie Ventura was a dick

Actually, the Governor has never asked me to write to you.

Now, there is this one Prince from Nairobi....

Don't even joke. I actually met a few people IN Nairobi who ACTUALLY do this sort of thing in internet cafes. for reals. (-:

You can't spell Nairobi without R.O.B.

I think we have the culprit

two times?

Two years ago I got a phone message with a voice I recognized from years earler - it began "Hi, This is Newt Gingrich. Now it's more important than ever to ..."

Funny though, he didn't say "Hi, Ben, this is Newt Gingrich, I have something very important to talk to you about. Please give me a call back at ..." I suppose he didn't have the time to make a PERSONAL appeal over the phone.

Woops, I guess I just gave away which political party I'm registered with ... but then it must be public record and that's how Newt (and several other Republican politicians two years ago) got my name.

Not to me...until you spelled it out in the parenthesis. I've only ever heard of the name before. I know nothing about him other than he has the name the same as a newt.

Oh, we get letters from every major party at every level of Government come election time... I'm not actually registered with any parties.

I'm still waiting for the Prime Minister to send me a personalised letter saying, "Thanks for voting for me, Cliff, you're a great writer and I want to help you get published."

I could be waiting a while... at least a year or so...

I once sold the queen some kool aid. does that count as being close to kind of sort of getting a letter from the gov'ner. it was in a dixie cup. she paid me a dime. and she Actually drank it. and she didn't get any on her fabulous poofy dress. but she didn't write me a letter.

The Queen sent my grandparents a letter last year for their 50th wedding anniversary. I've totally got an "in" with the royal family now.

Does that mean she's part of your cult now? Will she be listening to good music anytime soon?

yes. why just yesterday i saw the queen thrashing around her grand ball room to BODIES. I was like, "Oh Queenie, do tell!" I did some slamming with her, if you must know.
