Hillary Cares: Wait, no…it’s a Form Letter

So, after sending in my comments, Hillary decided it was necessary to send me a thank you…wait, no she didn't. She sent a form letter. So here's is what "she" wrote:

Wait. Is that a fake signature?! Wow, now I know I'm special and she REALLY does appreciate my comments. What? It's just a ploy to get me to join more things? Dang it. Here I thought she had a heart and maybe she cared. But nope. Sorry…


 

Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President –hehe…not really, just the email was! Such good use of money…

Why Hillary Sucks: or One Girl’s Continuing Battle to Undo What her Sister did

So my sister thought it would be funny to sign me up for Hillary's mailing list. This must be how my friend felt when I signed her up for the NRA mailing list. At least that was easier to get off of though…So I have now sent three emails to Miss Hillary with notes attached trying to get off the list. However, I still get emails. For each one they send me, I'm going to start sending them requests to be removed. The first note to Hillary was not saved, but it was something along the lines of:

I do NOT support Hillary. My sister signed me up for this to get even with me for ignoring her. I am a Barack Obama supporter and I do not want to continue to get her emails. Obama '08!

I have received two new emails from her. Second unsubscribe request accompanied this note:

Dear Person that reads these:
This is my second attempt to get off the mailing list. I do NOT like Hillary, I was put on this list by someone that was playing a joke. If I had any inclination towards her, it would have been squashed by her support of the gas tax holiday. This is the STUPIDEST idea I've heard of. It'll hurt more people than it will help.
Anyway, delete my email from the list. Thanks.


I am hoping that along with the third letter they'll get the message:


To the reader of this note:
Unsubscribe me! I keep getting emails and I'm upset by this. From now on, each email I get from you guys will be followed up with another unsubscribe request. As you guys like to send a "thank you for your comments" email, this could get ugly.
PLEASE TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST.


I had thought about including a note that said: Oh, and she may want to consider getting better speech writers. But that may be a bit harsh, you think? HMMMMM…drastic times call for drastic measures. I'll keep you posted. I might be sad if this is the last time I get to email them…

This was supposed to be 120 degrees...

I'm a Starbucks junkie. I admit it. But my order is very simple. I want a hot chocolate with the caramel syrup (sauce) and not the flavoring. Oh, and add whipped cream. My roommate orders a caramel machiato...upside down. We each have our quirks about what we want, but I watched a lady order her drink today and then refuse to take it because the cup didn't say "120 degrees" on it. Her drink HAD to be 120 degrees. Oh, and no fat, no sugar, please. Seriously? I understand the need to make it no fat, no sugar, but what's so important about the 120 degrees? Does it change the flavor any? Are we (as Americans) really so picky that we can't just accept what's given to us? I blame Burger King and their persistent "Have it your way, right away" slogan.

I know that saying "Starbucks junkie" and then talking about liking their hot chocolate seems to be rather strange. I've been meaning to try the caramel machiato, but I'm so dedicated to the Moxie Java Milky Way, that I'm not sure I can branch out. I like my Milky Way, I can't help it. Caramel machiatoas look good though...hmmmmm...

I was going to write a second blog today, one titled "It's called an ambulance, the siren means you get out of its way!" And rage against this girl I was behind last night...but as I'm trying to be more Christ-like
