I think Rep. McMorris is trying, but not quite getting it. Some time ago I sent her an email encouraging her to do whatever is possible to control federal judges. Today I received a nicely printed form letter, with a real signature. The letter begins: "Thank you for contacting my office requesting a ban on candy flavored cigarettes....It is imperative that we prevent our young people from smoking....."
Hmmmmmmmm.... I can guarantee that my email said absolutely nothing about smoking, candy cigarettes, or any remotely related topic. In fact, if I had realized that McMorris was wasting time on such trivialities, I just might have written a letter *against* it, not for it.
