I arrived on the western shores of California this morning for a very brief visit. Upon checking into the hotel I was handed the letter above, in a sealed, and personally addressed envelope. I was not travelling alone. But no one else was handed one. I am special.
And I am thrilled.
Not only am I being offered membership to this honourable sporting organisation (a five-year membership for only $100 – normally $140!!!!) but the opening line confirms that my citizenship (for which I had not yet got around to applying) has come through and I can now join FIVE MILLION NRA MEMBERS in the fight against ‘hundreds of gun-hating politicians, judges, radical billionaires and freedom-hating media elites. We have them outnumbered!
But wait …… there’s more! If I join today I get not only the gun bag (accessories, i.e. guns not included) but Your choice of an NRA magazine with ‘month after month of eye-popping photography, information-packed reviews of the HOTTEST new guns’. Wow! No more porn for me!
So it’s welcome to the USA for Brutus! Buddy, hand me the ammo!

I could check the plane schedules 😉 But I wouldn’t want to deny your cousin the pleasure of spending the evening catching up on good old times, without having to mind the silly girl writing haïkus about the chairs’ color, on napkins… 😉

You’re right. She probably wants to hog all the napkins for her own creations

It’d be rude of me to force her to share napkins and your attention… But ask again, next time you plan on visiting some lovely place without her 😉 I might be off and ready to trade AirMiles… Who knows?

Yeah, she can be really possessive about napkins. And yes. Who knows?

I have so much to look forward to when I eventually get to go there. Though I’m hoping it’s more a letter from McDonald’s offering me a free cheeseburger

Nothing is free in the world. Especially here. But if you insist on experiencing the true American culinary experience then I would recommend ‘Fatburger’. One cannot help but admire the truth in advertising.
I jest, though. This country is magnificent in many ways and has shown me great kindness over many years.

A certain element of it WANTS to scare you. Power and fear sleep in the same bed. And fear is the dominant partner.

I just recently came across this blog through the WP Reader. I’ve enjoyed several of his posts as he’s quite a writer. I’m share this particular post because it so clearly points out the wiles and deception of the NRA,
