Friends and Family, It is with complete shock and utter dismay that I come to you this afternoon of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 21, 2008.  As you may have guessed, a dramatic turn of events happened less than an hour ago while I was at my office in Downtown Paducah, KY.  I was fired from my position as the Executive Director of the Maiden Alley Cinema for the incident in which Heaven and I asked Mitch McConnell about the war in Iraq. 

It is absolutely unbelievable to me that such a powerful Senator would target a low income family simply to flex his political muscle.  But believe it folks, I am now jobless, on the day in which we use to remember the great Civil Rights Leader, Martin Luther King, Jr., because I dared to speak out. 

Is this what President Bush meant when he said he would wage a "Shock and Awe" campaign?  Because that is where I am right now.  I would write more, but to be perfectly honest friends, I don't know what to say.
