God could have asked me, Nancy

And I still wouldn’t have opened my wallet if he had.

This morning I received yet another (below) of a barrage of money begging emails from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Nancy Pelosi put her name on this one, which contained this especially irritating sequence:

President Obama asked you.
Hillary Clinton asked you.
Really, who else can ask?

Well, Nancy, God, or the entity superior to God, ad infinitum, can ask, but not being an authoritarian, I don’t take kindly to appeals from authority. That’s for the Authoritarian Party, also known as the Republican Party.

And I’m not excited that contributions made today will be “triple-matched” when the obvious question — triple-matched by whom? — isn’t answered. It’s just possible the DCCC might be better off without money from, and having obligations to, that person.

I’m sure the Republicans blast out equally offensive email, but so far I haven’t received any this campaign. But if I do, I’ll honor it with an equally critical analysis.
