Political Counsel by teucer

December 7th, 2007 11:25 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Write a letter to a government official (a Governor, a President) in which you describe and seek advice regarding a personal problem.

OR

Offer your advice to a government official with a public personal problem.

For this task I, Peter Harmon, decided to send an e-mail to Senator Ted Stevens. Peter Harmon, who I am, figured that he's probably been having some personal problems since his infamous "serious of tubes" comments which I, who am Peter Harmon, could help him with. You can't actually e-mail him directly. only through a from on his website so I did that using my, which is to say Peter Harmon's, computer.
Dear Senator Ted Stevens,
Hello Sir. My name is Peter Harmon and I, Peter Harmon, am writing you this letter with my hands. Nobody else is writing this letter, only me. Anyways, I am writing you to give you my* heartfelt advice for a serious problem I** have noticed you're having with my, and nobody else's, eyes – nobody is taking you very seriously. Ever since your now famous "internet is a series of tubes" comment, you've been widely ridiculed.
So after much thinking with Peter Harmon's brain (it being my brain, it makes sense that I would use it, on account of the fact that it is I that am giving you this advice and certainly not anybody pretending to be me – it's silly even to consider that), I** have come up with the solution – you should just embrace it. Run with it man. Not being taken seriously ain't the worst thing in the world – I wasn't taken seriously when I tried to exchange meat for money, but did that stop me? No! And by the way, did you notice how I used an incident from my past there? I did that because it happened to me, Peter Harmon, and therefore it's something I'd use for an example. Very convincing.
If you just accept that not everyone will take you seriously, you'll be much freer to make sweeping statements about things you know nothing about. It'll be great.
From the desk of Peter Harmon,
-Peter Harmon
P.S. This letter has the Peter Harmon seal of approval, indicating that it was sent by Peter Harmon and not by anybody else.


*Peter Harmon's
**Peter Harmon

I'm quite fond of this letter, on account of the fact that Peter Harmon wrote and no other person. The letter was written and sent by Peter Harmon, which is to say, and not by anybody else like for example the brilliant and witty JJason (who, BTW, all of you should become his friend and vote for his praxi). The very idea that anyone other than Peter Harmon wrote this letter and completed this task is ridiculous and a laugh worthy notion.

I don't think that Senator Ted Stevens will reply to this message, even though I gave my totally real e-mail adress and not one that was made up solely for this task. Probably cause he can't understand the internet. For example, I bet he wouldn't even understand that I am undoubtably Peter Harmon, for it was submitted under my account. And now, this praxis is over and I must go do the other things that Peter Harmon likes to do, like exchange meat for money and do linguistics and performing unlawful interrogations on my friends. Goodbye! From Peter Harmon! Who is me.
Yours,
Peter Harmon

P.S. Peter Harmon wrote this praxis! For Reals!

I'd vote for this completion, but I can't. Because I, Peter Harmon, totally submitted it!

Dear Peter Harmon,
I truly believe that you, indeed, are yourself.
This is overwhelming.
Thanks.
