Letter From the President (Sort Of...)

Today I got a letter from the United States Senate. It was... different. First it was like, mail, ok, from a college. No wait, must be from a camp. You know, like presidential this, presidential that... then I open it, and it's weird... you can see my thoughts in brackets as you read the fantastic letter!

Commerce, Science, And transportation [those are related how?]

Dear Ms. Hamilton:

Thank you for contacting me regarding global climate change. [Uhh... you're welcome?] I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. [I'm glad you had a good time]

I believe any future climate change commitments should be based on sound scientific evidence and a careful consideration of the economic and social costs involved. [If you know what you're talking about, fine] Lacking sound scientific judgement, proposals such as the Kyoto treaty would place U.S. industries at a gross competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace. [I'm glad you feel that way about the... Kyotowhatawhat?]

Please be assured that climate change legislation come before the full Senate, I will monitor it closely with your thoughts in mind. [I'm glad you're taking this issue so close to heart]

Thank you for taking the time to write. [Again, I don't quite know what to say to this] I hope you will not hesitate to contact me again on any other issue of concern. [Oh you bet I won't]

Sincerely, [I'm sure]
Kay Bailey Hutchinson [Obviously one smart individual]

It's good to see the government hard at work, writing thank you letters to little girls who didn't do anything in the first place... but at least they're polite!!
