why john fink, i only just found out about you and now you're a national
celebrity, there's a few things that i'd like to know still though, why do you
have your hands (both of them) in your shirt in the picture in Newsweek, and
who is the girl standing next to you with the shirt that says "Kiss me, I'm a
prince trapped in a frog's body!"  She was hot, I hope you didn't kiss her,
anyway, I congratulate you on your new fame, but I hope it isn't "your five
minutes in the public eye" that everyone gets, i think that that is a pretty
lame five minutes.
        NOTE:  if you start to get depressed about this being your only time
with national celebrity status, DO NOT TAKE SHOTS AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH A
                                HIGH-POWERED RIFLE!!!
