    Damn you, Xrandadu!

    I was going to do the same thing!

    Except not in as much detail.

    Perhaps I can simply give a good catch all summary, so that people won't have to read any of Camille's future columns.

    Dear Camille,

    I am a conservative. Democrats suck. Obama sucks. Sarah Palin rocks! I hate abortion and gays and I love Jesus! I am also old have nostalgia for old things, which I will now reference . I also hate edumacated liberals in those fancy-pants universities! Oh, I don't believe in science, either.

    Love,

    Conservativeguy

    Dear Conservativeguy,

    I am so in agreement with you! I believe Democrats and Obama suck, despite my assertions that I'm a Democrat and voted for Obama! Sarah Palin is my all time favorite fantasy crush, too!

    While I have to make some statement here that I can reference to support a future assertion that I'm pro-choice and gay, I will agree with you that other pro-choice folks suck, as well as gay activists (unless they're me).

    I love Jesus, too. Even though I'm an atheist. Really, I just love anything you do. Truly, I do.

    And old things! I love your reference to that old thing, which I will now use to contrive a mention of something I wrote 30 years ago.

    And, of course, I despise academia with a passion. It sucks! It's far too liberal and pretentious and judgmental. As is science - it just doesn't feel right to me. I'm certainly glad you and I are not pretentious or judgmental like that!

    In closing, I'd like to plug something else that I read that I just uncritically think is the bees knees.

    Hugs and kisses,

    Camille
