My new cat, Ron Paul
I have a new cat; his name is Ron Paul. He is inordinately ethical and highly intelligent, and is in fact very likely to run for President in 2008 on the Republican ticket. Like most cats, he is an economic libertarian and a social conservative.
The trouble is, there is a congressman named Ron Paul who is also running for president. If I campaign for the human named Ron Paul, I could be dunned as a lobbyist if you sent me money or claimed I influenced you. Under new pending Senate Bill 1, I could be forced to register as a lobbyist, and that would be stupid, because as usual, I am only talking about my cat, the one named Ron Paul. As you know, I also have a cat named Coolidge. I used to have a cat named Madison. I like naming cats after presidents, and after future presidents as well.
Please visit Grapes and Figs to learn all about the perils of confusing Congressman Ron Paul with my cat Ron Paul. But only 499 visitors are eligible to visit.
If you want to send me money for my cat named Ron Paul, I can assure you your donation will be put to good use. Just please don’t say I influenced you; just say you like my cat named Ron Paul and wanted to send him money. Actually, don’t send me any money; you can look on the internet and figure out where to send money for my cat named Ron Paul.
Remember, I’m only referring to my cat, whose name is Ron Paul. If you say it fast, it sounds like the French flutist. Just remember, he’s the cat with two first names.
Jean-Pierre RonPaul the cat for president! Hurray! (Wait, is he a US-born citizen? Is he 35 years old?–We can sort that out later).
I hope those visitors you send my way visit soon–before the new law is passed. Otherwise we will have to get RonPaul elected so that he can scratch out all the folly of this legislative session.
