Tell us something we didn’t know already. Lisa

Dear Congress,
As you start your historic — and no doubt childish and hysteria filled — discussions about healthcare reform in conference committee, I’d like to share a story about my insurance company with you. As you read this please keep in mind that I have great insurance. I get better care, more care, with fewer hurdles…
Dear FAA, Northwest Airlines, and the Pilot Community,
My questions are multitude and I don’t know where to begin. 1. If you can use a laptop safely in a cockpit to surf the web — and I’m assuming if they were checking their schedules, they were online — then why can’t we use our cell phones? 2. Why isn’t there a method for…
Dear Every Member of Congress Against the Public Option,
Here’s a quote from the Washington Post:on October 24 “…new polls, one from The Washington Post and ABC News and the other from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, found clear majority support (57 percent) for a public option. The Post-ABC News poll showed support had risen five percentage points since August.” Other polls over…
Dear Michael Vick,
What you did disgusts me. That you only served a couple years in prison is an abomination and a blot on our justice system. But you say you want and deserve a second chance. Here’s a couple of suggestions on how you can redeem yourself: 1. First, donate your entire salary for your first year…
Dear CNN and other 24-hour news outlets,
I realize that it’s hard to find new things to talk about all day every day, but I believe you are letting down the public by only showing loud town hall meetings about healthcare held by Democratic members of Congress.

PS: Dear Gov. Sanford,
Please switch “Appalachian Trail” to “Argentina” in the letter below, and any reference to “what” you were doing to “who” you were doing. I don’t care if you had an affair — that’s something for your wife, your children, a good counselor, and a lawyer with very sharp teeth to handle. But I’m still interested…
Dear Governors and other elected officials everywhere,
If you decide to run for office and are blessed enough to be elected, please understand that your job is probably not a simple 9-5 gig. You are on call all the time. So it’s probably not okay to head off on a hike of the Appalachian Trail so you can get away from your…
Dear PETA,
I’m all for the ethical treatment of animals, be they the ones that are our companions at home, those that live in the wild and are impacted by our encroachment on their environment, or the ones we raise or catch for food. I think that how humanely we treat other creatures says a lot about…
