Dear Mr. Don Upson
Mr. Don Upson
CEO, ICG Government Consulting
Tysons Corner, VA
Dear Mr. Upson:
I understand from the news that your firm offers a position as "consulting executive" with annual compensation in the amount of $80K for working at home approximately 10 hours a week. I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that.
I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and American University law school. I have practiced law for 10 years and have a license in Virginia. I also have three young children at home which prevents me from working a full-time schedule, especially during summers. Working part-time at home (10 hrs a week) is perfect.
You'll be pleased to know that I have my own cell phone. Perfect for making calls without the expense of buying a desk. I also have a computer with a DSL connection, if that matters.
Finally, I am not a member of any elected body, so my employment will violate no ethical rules. Not sure if you care -- but thought you might like to know.
I am very excited about this opportunity as my family needs money. My husband is a lawyer who is always doing something in the community that does not bring in income.
When can I start?
Sincerely,
Sharon Kim Petersen
Dear Ms. Petersen,
Thank you for your interest in ICG Government Consulting.
As you know, ICG is the company that operates the government program that was supposed to provide relief for Hurricaine Katrina victims. Since we have been very conservative in our disbursements, ICG has wads of cash laying around in bank accounts collecting interest.
If you don't hear from us in thirty days, please be assured that your resume has been placed in our files for future reference. Please, don't call us, we'll call you.

Dear Mr. Upson:
Please disregard my recent job application. Although the job pays handsomely and the hours ideal, I cannot work out of my basement as I fear the mutant crickets and poor cell reception. I also heard that I may be required to post my husband's photo in my profile on the ICG website which would be most unfortunate as I do not think he is ALL THAT. More importantly, my husband dabbles in politics and may have dealings with your clients. As everyone knows he is a sensitive type and utterly in love with me, no amount of firewalls, chinese walls or mosquito netting could quell the stench of impropriety. Speaking of impropriety, I must confess, my cover letter to you was ghost-written by someone who said access to you would be a "deliverable." I simply signed it as I am told that is how the big boys on the Hill do it. But I digress. My husband cherishes me and will stop at nothing to see that I succeed. All I really want is some Hootie and the Blowfish tickets and some updated kitchen appliances, but I have been told I ALSO have a right to earn a living. I fail to see, however, how this is the only job that would fulfill such right. So with regret (for the job sounds scrumptious), I withdraw my application. Anyway, my sources tell me that the current employee in this position may need this job more than ever after November, so good luck and good night, and don't let the bedfellows bite.

Editorial: Gays Endorse Petersen?

We are dismayed by the news that an active and respected Virginia organization dedicated to the extension of full civil rights to all persons despite their sexual orientation chose last week to endorse a candidate aligned with a right-wing church that considers gays and lesbians “second class citizens,” at best. The Virginia Partisans Gay and Lesbian Democratic Club has been strongly supported by our owner for years.
But it appears the board of directors of the group chose partisanship over self-dignity and equal rights in its endorsement of Chap Petersen, running as a Democrat for the Virginia state assembly in Fairfax. Petersen is a member of the Truro Episcopal Church of Fairfax, which has been in the forefront of the national movement to cause a schism in the Episcopal Church, U.S.A.
The move last December by the Truro Church and others, including a majority of parishioners who voted at the Falls Church Episcopal, to defect from the Episcopal Church had as its impetus opposition to the elevation of an openly-gay clergyman to a bishop in 2003. The defecting churches have subsequently aligned, under the U.S. leadership of the Truro Church’s rector, with Anglican Bishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria. Akinola supports prison sentences for persons of the same sex caught holding hands in public, or for anyone regardless of sexual orientation meeting to discuss the issue of gay marriage.
Petersen, who calls himself a “moderate” Democrat, has made no public statements, to our knowledge, on these matters. He has done nothing to disassociate from any of this, and therefore has to be considered compliant with and in support of it until he does.
We are not impressed that Petersen allegedly opposed passage of the Marshall-Newsman Amendment last fall, the ballot referendum that has severely hindered the struggle for equal rights in Virginia. There were many things about that referendum that were flawed, providing Petersen with a convenient pretext for staying on the Democratic reservation without compromising his personal views on gays (he made no mention of the subject on his blog or web site).
Petersen warrants no support from any quarters favoring equal rights for gays until he answers to these matters to their satisfaction first. In fact, if he shares the view of the Truro Church on the subject, then he is exactly the kind of person that equal rights activists should be working to remove from, or keep out of public office.
It is disingenuous to say that Petersen is the “lesser of evils” in his election. A group like the Virginia Partisans has a responsibility to its constituents to stand on principle, first. Like us, it should be endorsing no one until these
Just recently dawned on me that you
did not fill out the pro bono forms
for the D.C.dry-cleaner who needed a lawyer while they was being sued for
millions of dollars? Any reason?
Again his would have eliminated a need
for some translation costs. You might
have had mediated for less.
You could have made the spotlight and
a few bucks of dry cleaning free
Or is it your too good for these folks?
Help the little guy? What is this an HBO movie? You only see that in the movies. Did you notice not one Asian
lawyer or Asian group came to their
rescue? Only a caucasian is hammered
for racism
There is no free lunches.
