My Inbox -- Change, Piping Hot

The election may have been a month ago, but the Obama campaign's fund raising machine keeps humming. I just received this compelling email offer:

Todd --

 Doesn't that make you feel all warm inside, like a hope latte with an extra shot of change? It's a handsome item, to be sure, but I'm going to have to pass. There's no room in my cupboard for another mug. NPR and its affiliates are already taking up all available space.

And besides, I just got a brand new mug from a really nice southern guy. I just can't say no to a drawl.
