Yes We Can!

Dear Mr. Robin Williams,

We here at If I Blog It They Will Come feel the winds of change-a' blowin'. No, we're not standing underneath a high-powered ceiling fan, nor are we listening to an inspirational 1990 ballad from German metal stalwarts, Scorpions. We're talking about real change. You see, Mr. Robin Williams, we have taken a great measure of inspiration from the events of November 4th, 2008. If the citizens of the United States of America can gather their collective will and make a push for progress by electing Barack Obama as their next Commander-in-Chief, then who's to say we can't do something just as remarkable.

Mr. Williams, we here at If I Blog It They Will Come seek change. A change that's been brewing for quite some time now. The change we seek isn't going to cause massive social upheaval, slight back pain, or even tax hikes for the richest 1% of people reading this. The change we seek will not entail the usage of divisive scare tactics nor will it require gerrymandering of certain election districts to bring about. The change we seek is simple.

This blog was founded on a premise of hope. We simply had hoped that particular celebrities would be moved to send us photos of themselves looking at this blog to djayek@yahoo.com after several months of good-naturedly badgering them to do so. We've succeeded as a blog before and we will succeed as a blog again, but we know we cannot do it alone ...for the specific reason that in order to technically succeed we actually need a photo of you looking at our blog, which pretty much requires your participation.

In closing, we look forward to your aid in our push for progress to change this once proud (yet currently flagging) blog from one without a photo of you looking at it, to one with a photo of you looking at it, so that it may reach soaring levels never before seen. And on that glorious day when you finally come through, we will be smiling from ear to ear as the "No You Won'ts" of our detractors shall be tempered with one simple phrase..."YES WE CAN."

We thank you for your time and consideration on the matter Mr. Robin Williams and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
The "We'd Never Go Negative" Folks at If I Blog It They Will Come

Man of The Year '08

Dear Mr. Robin Williams,

As you may or may not be aware (you're probably aware), Stephen Colbert recently threw his hat into the ring as a candidate for the Presidency in the 2008 election. If this scenario seems eerily familiar it's because it's a near carbon copy of the plot of your 2006 film Man of the Year in which you portrayed Polito-comic TV Host Tom Dobbs. We here at "If I Blog It They Will Come" have no doubt Mr. Colbert was inspired by your performance as the comedian become candidate, proving that you are certainly an actor ahead of his time. We're confident that he will try to emulate your character's no nonsense debate tactics and dispense his own brand of "truthiness" serving as a "formidable opponent" to Barack, Hillary, Mitt, and possibly himself in a different colored tie.

Though Mr. Colbert is certainly a beloved figure , he will undoubtedly learn a hard lesson as your character Tom Dobbs did in the aforementioned film. The people of this great nation might love him as the host from The Colbert Report, but they are less than willing to elect a comedian as their Commander-in-Chief.

If by some far-fetched miracle Mr. Colbert does emerge victorious, you can rest assured that it'll probably be due to a glitch in the voting system that Laura Linney's boss overlooked because he didn't want to see his company's stock plummet and so he immorally stood by the results of a false election, all the while painting Ms. Linney as an unstable drug addict.

Stephen Colbert may be grasping at an impossible dream, but we here at "If I Blog It They Will Come" are vying for something much more attainable. All we really want to be in the running for is a photo of you looking at our blog. If you'd like to throw your hat in the ring for that, all you have to do is send us said photo to djayek@yahoo.com and leave the campaigning to us.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.


Sincerely,
The Politically Active Folks at "If I Blog It They Will Come"

P.S. "If I Blog It They Will Come" fully supports the Colbert '08 campaign as long as his running mate is not a bear.

More Political Humor

Dear Mr. Costner,

In light of tonight's first Democratic Presidential Candidate debate, we here at "If I Blog It They Will Come" thought we'd take another crack at greasing the gears in order to get you to send a photo of yourself looking at our blog to djayek@yahoo.com by engaging you with some political humor. A special thanks to the folks at QuickComic.com for making it possible for us to make our own little politocomic.

So without further ado, there's an off chance that you might see this in tonight's debate:



Thanks for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
The Politically Humorous folks at "If I Blog It They Will Come"
