government issues
Yesterday I decided to send an email to The President of The United States of America. His email address is so simple that I didn't believe it at all. So with the feeling of doubt and fear I went ahead and sent a short, sweet message to president@whitehouse.gov. Since I work at NASA and I myself also have a .gov address there was assumption that top priority would be granted for my position. If not, there should be. Knowing that The President is a busy man I kept the email to only 3 sentences:
Dear Mr. President,
My name is Matt and I work at NASA. I just wanted to see how your day was going. Have a nice one.
Matt
Nothing special, just a friendly hello from a super gnarly citizen. I thought it was nice. If someone I didn't know sent me that same excact message I'd be freaking out with excitement because I've never met another Matt at NASA. Fast forward to mid day today the reply comes in. I actually got an email from the White House. There was an announcement made from my desk. Little did I know that the email was very disappointing. It wasn't even from The President:
On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
We appreciate hearing your views and welcome your suggestions.
Due to the large volume of e-mail received, the White House cannot respond to every message.
Thank you again for taking the time to write.
Whatever.
Called the court this morning to check the status of my two traffic tickets. The two I got on the way to Mississippi on the day after my birthday. Who would've thought driving without headlights in Houston with a Mississippi driver's license would get you two tickets. Anyways, the DA dismissed them because he knows what's up.
How many U.S. states took part in the development or manufacture of the B-2 bomber?
Last entry's answer was Asia.

Never would think about sending an email to the president... too bad you didn't get a response.
Maybe G dub didn't feel like typing yesterday.

The President is too busy pig rastlin' to answer your e-mail.

That's so funny, sending an email to the president. Hey, isn't this your 100th post?
Bringing back the gnarly. Nice.
Did you really? Send that email? I thought you were busy working, young man. Stop harassing the king warmonger! LOL

Considering that every state in the U.S. participated in rationing, gathering scrap metal, aluminum foil etc. then I would guess that the answer to todays (last) trivia question is 50.
I sent an e-mail to the President once.
Note to self: Never send an e-mail to the President when you are brown.
Haha, you should have sent him some quality porn.
Two tickets, huh?
They say everything is bigger in Texas.
