I just got a phone call from 202-754-8664 saying there's a contest going on that ends tonight to win a free dinner with Hillary, including airfare, hotel, etc. that you sign up for at the website listed above.

I've got no interest (nor do I know if it's a scam or real) but thought I'd post in case anyone else on here actually does want to.

But I'm known for my warped sense of humor.
I imagined you sitting at the dinner table with your head in your hands while all you hear is "blah blah blah...Goldman Sachs..blah..TPP...blah...I ain't no ways tired...send money...salon in Brooklyn..blah blah..." and you're imagining your plane going down in flames.

Yes, it might not have been a funny one, but a joke nonetheless. I don't wish any ill will towards anyone.

And for the record, I would fly on my private yet and I would be the pilot and the only person on board. I would crash in the middle of the ocean and not even a starfish would be harmed.

Perhaps you can convince their families to partake in the jokes and laughter?

Considering your callous view on the lives affected by crashes, I'm a bit afraid to find out just what other tragic events you seem to find humor in.

Disclaimer: By using "not survived" I mean they would have left, thrown a fit, or some other form of upset, and not that they would be murdered, die in a plane crash or meet their "actual end" in any way, shape, or form.

President Obama made Joe Biden a heartbeat away from the presidency and John Kerry four heartbeats away from the presidency and they voted for the IWR.
