An Open Letter to the Senators Who Fell for the Prank

I respect you, I really do, for bothering to write back to an innocent letter from a "ten-year-old." The kid wasn't even of voting age, much less a voter in your home state, so there was no reason to write back, which could explain why 85% of your fellow Senators did not. They just don't care, and you guys do. As someone who takes pride in answering all his own e-mail, I respect your dedication to listening and responding to the people.

That's why, when the time came for us to pick the least funny Senator, all of you were spared. You see, the joke is your amulet. You can wear the joke around your neck and you will not be attacked by vampires.

I mean, Orrin Hatch managed to send in a joke. It's not that hard. Open a frigging knock-knock book once in a while.



Thank you to Al Natanagara for designing the groovy Senator graphics. Thanks to James Stevens for writing the 10-year-old's letter. Thanks most of all to our inspiration, Jeffrey Vallance, who pioneered the field of Senatorial pranking back in the 1970's with his "art project" letter.


If you enjoyed The Senator Prank, you might also enjoy Outgoing Mail, in which John Hargrave sends prank e-mails to AOL, Microsoft, Campbell's Soup, and other companies too numerous to mention.
