Got this yesterday which is weird since I don’t live in the 20th. Unfortunate when consultants can figure out their own clients districts. So okay, I live right across the street but still….
The letter was either patronizing or nonsensical – weird really and the pot holder was reminiscent of a 1950′s gender stereotype since it came to me and neither my husband or son. Oddest damn thing – and this in an election season where nothing has made sense.
In the spirit of transparency, my son works for Ong’s leading opponent – he sure as damn hell won’t put anything this stupid in the mail.
