Dear Gov. Rick Perry,

Glad you and the puppy are fine! Can I get an autographed photo of you with the puppy?

I’m sure Peta is all up in your grill for shooting that coyote, but those people need to get a sense of humor! I mean how much funnier can you get than having the fine Governor (you), of one of these United States (Texas),  shooting a coyote, with a laser sighted, .380 Ruger pistol, loaded with hollow-point bullets, while out jogging with a labrador retriever puppy, all because he’s afraid of snakes! You can’t make stuff like that up! Pure comedy gold, but I bet not one Peta person finds it as funny as I do!

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to run around with a gun in Iowa, but we don’t have as many snakes here anyway. Besides, I’m probably not in good enough shape to carry a .380 Ruger around. What do you think, should I start with something lighter like a .22?

By the way, what do you think Gov. Chet Culver’s chances are for reelection? I’m thinking not very good, but that’s only because former-Gov. Terry Branstad is back in the race!

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen

p.s. are you at all related to the American actor Luke Perry? He was pretty good in “Jeremiah,” although I think most everything else he’s done has sucked. I’d still take his autographed photo if you are related and could pull it off!
