Resting assured

I’ve been thinking about the protest marches that have occurred in Olympia and I have to say they are somewhat comforting. They have evidently been organized and attended by, I think there were three, organizations with the mission to protect my constitutional rights. I mean what can be bad about that?

So I want to give credit where credit is due. Now, I might get the names wrong because I do not have your article in front me but I want to thank the Washington 7%’ers. They are obviously fans of Sherlock Holmes and like to get to the bottom of things and keep their long guns exposed and ready.

Then there are the Pride Boys. I love their flag with all of the colors sparkling in the sunlight. Finally, the Patriot Priors. They seem to disprove the notion that our penal system cannot rehabilitate ex-cons. You have inspired us here in Colbert — shown us that it actually is all about me.

Remember, there is no “us” in America, only me. Keep up the good work.
