Dear Pamela,
Thanks for your note.
I'm going to assume you're from out of town, so let me explain: It was humor.
Try not to take things so seriously. Have a cheesesteak and smile.
Thanks for writing,
Don Russell

I'm a good sport, but I fail to see the humor:

Don,

With all the Kerry bashing that is going on these days, from "other sources", Kerry supporters like myself are fed up with foolish stories like this. Our country needs a strong leader like John Kerry. There's so many more important stories to cover. A story like this ceases to be humor when it is plastered all over the news wires and newspapers across the country.

Thanks, but I'm on a diet! Show me a real story about John Kerry, a serious supportive story about John Kerry, and I'll have two cheesesteaks!

Pamela
