This ap­pli­ca­tion to join the Republican National Committee arrived in the mail the other day. Hell hasn’t frozen over yet, so I won’t be joining the Republican party.

I don’t know how the RNC came up with my name, though I got another so­lic­i­ta­tion from them a few years ago. Usually, I get so­lic­i­ta­tions from the Dems and from a variety of pro­gres­sive causes, but then I have a track record of supporting them.

The previous owner of our house, Harry Korrell, is a Republican lawyer. He was a member of Dino Rossi’s team when Rossi was trying to overturn the last gu­ber­na­to­r­i­al election in Washington state. Feh!
