First, the folks at FR are having some laughs with a swell campaign innovation - Lurch and Opie want your story:
Do you have a story John Kerry and John Edwards need to hear?Hmm, where did I put the barf bag?
John Kerry kicks off his front porch tour of America in Lansdowne, Pa. today. From now to Election Day, Kerry and Edwards will visit peoples' homes, sit on their front porches, and talk about why this election is so important to America's families. They will listen to peoples' stories and discuss the values we live by every day: family, responsibility, service, opportunity, inclusion, fairness, and faith.
While we can't meet with everyone face to face, we want to hear from you. Please share your story and tell us why this election matters to you. We will read every one of your responses, and share the most compelling stories by posting them on JohnKerry.com.So many possibilities, so little time. How about an oldie but a goodie?

Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Peter Beter.I wonder whose address I should give?
Four months ago, I reported the presence of a Soviet nuclear weapon at Seal Harbor, Maine, placed where it could destroy the summer homes of the Rockefeller family. The rulers of the Soviet Union were embarking on an all-out double-cross of their long time allies, the Rockefellers; and for the past four months we have been in the grip of a "Soviet Missile Crisis"--a fact of which most Americans are still unaware. The month before this crisis began I had revealed the rapidly mounting fears of certain Trustees of the key Rockefeller-controlled foundations that such a Soviet double-cross was imminent.
What are you two hairballs planning to do about it?
Your friend,
Peter Beter
Ah well, if that's too esoteric, you can always request a free Kerry bumper sticker for anyone you like. Even Peter Beter.
