I received the following, which is a bit of cynicism that is not meant to offend anyone, but to poke fun at one aspect of our American story. Only in America can we so freely rake our leaders over the coals while still giving them the benefit of a doubt. We are indeed a many-faceted people. -MK

CONTRIBUTION REQUEST:

Dear Friends of Bill:

We have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument of Bill Clinton. We originally wanted to put him on Mt. Rushmore but we discovered there was not enough room for 2 more faces. We then decided to erect a statue of Bill Clinton in the Washington, D. C. Hall Of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed.

It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie or beside Jesse Jackson who never told the truth, since Bill Clinton could never tell the difference. We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all.

He left not knowing where he was going & when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been & did it all on someone else's money. If you are one of the fortunate people who have anything left after taxes, we expect a generous contribution to this worthwhile project.

Thank you.

P. S.  ~ Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. His wife Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for memories from 2 people who for 8 years repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

Only in America!
