The Scarlet Letter R, for REPUBLICAN!

In the first week of December I tried to find the address of a former co-worker so I could mail them a Christmas card. Turns out my superior online investigative skills (cyber-stalking) had me finding them somewhere in California in a new job, but what of the home address? Sending a card to their place of employment wasn't what I had in mind, but would suffice as a Plan B. I kept clicking on links and found they had made a $1,000 contribution to the McCain for President Campaign!
Huh?
What?
NO CARD FOR YOU!
I remembered this person as a Liberal, at least outwardly, an enlightened and educated person who I admired whiel slaving away from 9-5.
Oh well...
