    Got a letter from Harry today

    with the 2008 Senate Democratic Leadership Survey and a request for $ attached.

    Question: What do you believe is the most important issue facing America? (Please rank with "1" being the most important.)

    --Ending the war in Iraq - check

    --Job security and creation - check

    --Affordable health care - check

    --Quality public education - check

    --Global warming and reducing our dependence on oil - check

    --Social Security privatization - check

    --Stem-cell research - check

    --Reducing the national debt - check

    --Other - check

    Hmmm. Something's missing...can't quite put my finger on it...oh, wait...

    RESTORING THE RULE OF LAW AND OUR SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES

    Christ.
