illusionofjoy | Two emails

After a marathon session of "playing God" (aka: The Sims 2), I emerged blurry-eyed and brain-dead to spend some more time drooling at my computer by checking my email. There were two messages waiting for me.

The first was from Hillary Clinton. It included a link to view a video of her speech endorsing Obama today, along with the entire transcript of the same.

The second email was from Howard Dean, giving me a "pep talk" on behalf of the Democratic Party. This paragraph stuck out (emphasis mine):

It can be tough to lose a hard-fought race -- I know, because I've been there. But no matter who you supported, you're part of a bigger family -- one that shares the same hopes, values, and dreams. This campaign is so much more than any of us or any candidate. It's about the future of our country, and our collective desire to take it back for the people who make it great.

I'm half-tempted to write back to him to say that my "family" has been abusing me - could I be placed in a foster home?
