[Vision2020] Women's Temperance Movement and Evil Plots

[Nate Wilson]

Dear Joan,
    Maybe you missed my last little cyber note. My dad didn't call up 
Dave Johnson and initiate this story. But that's beside the point. 
You've been reading Grishman again, and have therefore been uncovering 
political machinations.
    Scenario One (sometimes known as Doug's story): We have picked up 
certain patterns in the behavior of one Rosemary and one Saundra. If 
we're doing something, they won't like it. And they consult the Prophet 
Retentive until they come up with a suitable complaint. They would now 
like university caterers to oversee (and interupt if necessary) a two 
thousand year old religious ceremony to make sure kids aren't allowed. 
It's about the kids. Vote yes for kids.
    Scenario Two (Joan's): Knowing full well that Rosemary and Saundra 
can't resist salmon eggs, we slid one on our hook. Why? A publicity 
stunt that's why. We want to get in the middle of a Supreme Court 
battle. And we anticipated things rather well, don't you think? We've 
loved every other legal tangle we've been in so much that we thought 
that we'd like to be prosecuted by the UI, and golly, why not their 
caterer too. Oh, and it will help NSA also. The zoning and property tax 
flaps didn't boost enrollment as much as we'd hoped.
    Scenario Three (my version): Bush called me and asked me to talk my 
dad into it. Since I didn't vote for him, it's the least I could do. The 
GOP needs a church to have a fight with a university caterer right now.
    Cheers.
