There's nothing like making a new fan!

Just knowing that people care is the important thing...

Hello Jim Treacher:

I just visited your sewer of a blog ...

And I would like to know how such a hate filled person as yourself can sleep at night.

Your blog will serve to remind people exacly what the RepubliKKKlan party stands for and thereby guarantee the extermination of the religious fundamentalist racist party.

Sincerely,

David Mathews

Hello David Mathews:

Thank you for taking some time from entertaining millions with your
energetic-yet-nonthreatening music to write to me!

Yes, I'm often asked how such a hate-filled person as myself can sleep
at night. The truth is, a lot of the time I can't. My religious
fundamentalist racism makes me say the most awful things, and then I
toss and turn half the night, my fevered brain unable to rest from its
thoughts of racismness and fundamentality. But then I have a couple
beers and I'm out like a light.

Keep speaking truth to power!

Your new friend,
Jim Treacher

P.S. "Ants Marching" changed my life. After hearing it for the first
time, I ditched my dead-end career as an entomologist and went into
blogging. The world has you to thank, LOL

In other news, these icons are cool. #5, 6, and 7 are based on things I've said on Twitter, and #8 is self-evidently true. I really think #7 has legs:
