Scandal Rocks Berkeley Note: The following is fictional The following is an intecepted communication from Mayor Tom Bates to President George Bush: Dr. Mr. Bush, I am the mayor of Berkeley. Berkeley has a lot of good ideas, and you should listen to them, so you can increase support for your party by a percentage (0). However, I write to you on a more personal note. I have recently promised to spend a day homeless in an attempt to pretend to understand the difficulties faced by the homeless in our town. The event was originally postponed after you began your war on Iraq. If it isn't too much trouble, could you please start a war with Syria so I can postpone the event again? Sincerely, Tom Bates Mayor, Berkeley. posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 4/22/2003 08:53:00 PM # Comments (0) . . .
