My initial gut feeling (complemented by a little research) was right...

I guess that some normative psychological evaluations assume that if you answer that your life is too good, that could be a bad thing. I don't completely understand how it's possible to be feeling too good. I suppose that I don't understand a lot of things...

So there I am last night...One of the first annoying things (other than the usual spam announcing the same useless crap) I got in my email was a completely unoriginal virus hoax. Within five minutes, I received the following (cut for some measure of brevity) from the same individual:

"Dear Friends:

Pray for the President as he is peparing his acceptance speech. And pray for him as he gives his speech.
Prayer makes a difference.

President George W. Bush

Dear --cut to protect privacy--,

In two weeks, I will proudly accept our Party's nomination for the Presidency of the United States. I will then travel the country to ask for the vote, telling Americans about my agenda to make a safer world and a more hopeful America in my next term.

I will win if you continue to stand with us in the weeks ahead. There's a lot to do and our convention is a wonderful opportunity to energize our fellow Republicans and draw to our banner discerning Democrats and Independents. Will you help me do that?

Will you open your home during the convention and reach out to your friends, family and neighbors by hosting a convention watch party on September 2nd, the night I make my acceptance speech?

This would help spread our positive message in a very important way. There is no better messenger for me than you. There is no better way to help us communicate our ideals than by sharing our convention with neighbors.

Will you help me?

Victory depends on all of us making every effort to persuade people to join us and then getting them to the polls. I hope you will share our celebration and host a party in your home.

Thanks again for all you do.

Sincerely,
George W. Bush"

Needless to say, I will not be praying for Dubya. I hope like hell that Barney eats his speech and that Dubya will have to improvise. That would undoubtedly make this individual's quest much easier. I don't hate Bush, I just want him back in Crawford. I almost wish that I could run the streets of NYC during the Republicon convention. I suppose that I could, but I have better things to do.
