Dear Bill,
We're thrilled to have you join us. We do however think you've been slightly slow on the uptake - sending your first text message in 2007 is pretty impressive (although we think it's sweet that it was to Hillary Clinton on her birthday). You're clearly a complete Luddite, so we thought we'd highlight some other technology you might have missed.
- GPS. You can dump the maps - this piece of kit will actually tell you how to get to pretty much anywhere. In a real life voice - we think you'll go for the giggly girl one.
- Email. Save on stamps, save on paper, save on hand fatigue. They're like letters, but electronic.
- Digital cameras. No longer do you have to wait and see how those 'compromising photos' turn out. You can take them and then see right there and then how bad they are. And crucially, you can delete them.
- MP3 players. Imagine carrying around 4,000 CDs. Heavy, right? Well Bill, you don't have to. There are now magical boxes which will turn your music into files, which you can play straight into your ears.
Bill, this is but a taste of what's out there. We urge you to find your nearest Circuit City and explore.
Love
Shiny Shiny

oh don't worry, he will be visiting the nearest Circuit City, as long as it is next door to a Hooters---
Right -- because Bush and Cheney have provided such a pleasant change from all that sordid dishonesty and deception.
Who is Shiny Shiny funded by, Rupert Murdoch? Apparently, Shiny Shiny consists of U.S. media Luddites: *Starr-investigated sex scandal* means *we tried to frame Clinton for years but couldn't find anything real with which to charge him*. The Fairness Doctrine is dead in America and the Right uses scandal to undermine the rights of voters and the effect of class dissatisfaction.
Just as the rest of Europe didn't want to support Bush despite Blair, the rest of Europe was pleased to deal with a cultured and literate American president at last -- Clinton was the first in a very long time and perhaps the last for some time (unless Obama's elected).
Bush Sr. was amazed by bar code checkers during his term -- he didn't even know what they were. Bush III's capacity to comprehend compound sentences is challenged, let alone, standard gadgets. But of course, that low-life working-class character, Clinton, seems somehow worse to you; he's beneath you -- so lurid, unkempt, over-sexed and and unsophisticated. You probably make the same dismissive comments about African-American sports figures.
So glad you believe in royalty -- the idea is *so* relevant to the defining qualifications of a decent American president.
I used to read Shiny Shiny regularly, but I won't be doing that any more. I'll spread the word about your neo-con affiliations.
Ironically, you're about to make the same mistake with Blair that Americans did with Clinton: Usher in conservative forces because the former leader was pronounced morally impure by hypocrites. That strategy is going to seem incredibly foolish a few years from now.
You got all this from "you can delete compromising photographs"?
I don't text, I don't have a cell phone, I'm a boomer.
I do four blogs, twitter, skype, VOIP, DVR, GPS with hand held for golf courses (did you know about that gadget?) and other fun stuff.
Just sayin'
