I’ve never been much of a fan of the Republican Party. However, political preference aside, you can’t help but be endlessly entertained by some of the things they do. Here’s a chance we all have to poke a little fun at people in power.

At work today, we received a fax from the National Republican Congressional Committee since the guy that runs the place is apparently a registered Rep. No problem with that, right? The NRCC is up to its usual tactics of extorting money out of small business owners by saying “oh, we love you, pay us some money and we’ll let you travel at your own expense to a dinner in Washington where you get to meet the missing link!”

Here’s a picture of one of the actual pages of the actual fax we received this afternoon:

If you look at the bottom of the page very carefully, you get this wonderful little message that reminds you of something you would have never known:

How nice of people who claim to be business savvy to remind thousands of people that they are not the government. It’s great that it wasn’t printed at government expense, but what about the fact it wasn’t printed at NRCC expense either? They’re riding on YOUR money. And this money isn’t even going to them. Do you know how much more printer ink costs than gasoline? Very few people are going to travel to this thing anyway, so why waste tons of paper and ink on trying to get people to go? Oh, right… the NRCC is getting a free ride. YOU pay for the tons of paper and ink.

I just figured I would point out this borderline injustice.
