Round, round, get around...

Things that make you go hmmmm....
Ellie Light not only seems to be a prolific letter writer, but also a great supporter of President Obama.

Ellie Light also seems to have multiple addresses across the country. According to Hot Air, virtually the same letter from the same person has appeared in at least 62 newspapers, some large and well known such as USA Today and the Washington Times, some small and local such as the Los Banos Enterprise and the Danbury News-Times. In each case Ellie Light claimed to be a local resident.

This surprising fact only come to light when the Cleveland Plain Dealer, also a recipient of the letter, investigated Ellie Light's bona fides and found them wanting. The Plain Dealer reporter has also published an email exchange with Ellie Light that to be believed.
I guess this administration can create thousands of "supporters" as easily as they create "jobs"...
The ham-handedness and tone-deafness of the current crew in D.C. leaves me with only one "hope:" that at some point, someone will go to the podium and say "live from New York, it's Saturday Night," revealing the whole thing to have been an inside joke.

If only.
