Keep Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer

MEMO

FROM: The Forbicites
TO: WSU College Republicans
SUBJECT: Mutual Enemies

Over the last three years, we Forbicites here at Palousitics have managed to annoy most every far-left professor and student at WSU. You guys have managed to do the same thing over the past year or so. Just as we have issues that we agree on: illegal immigration, English as the official language, Islamofascism, global warming, Wal-Mart, etc., so do our enemies (PARD, Department of Comparative Ethnic Studies, Young Democrats, Progressive Student Union).

So, for example, someone that attacks you on one issue, might attack me on another.

Some people might still carry a grudge against me because I helped provide national exposure to actions against the College Republicans they later had to publicly apologize for; persons who might santicmoniously refer to "lying" and "character assassination" and the "pigsty in which your husband resides" while forgetting they were the ones to attack me first.

That's why we love you guys so much. We have all the same friends and all the same enemies. Keep up the good work, and so will we!

Sincerely,

Tom Forbes and the Forbicites
