Subject: The gift

Mark, It was with much glee that I received being included in your Straaang Bedfellows editorial cartoon. The way you drew my hair and beard was very flattering. I showed everyone I came in contact with on 2/13/05. The usual response was one of congratulations, as people know that for a "leftist" such as myself to being singled out by a right winger such as you is indeed a compliment to my effectiveness. It was a great gift. Thank you.
