Bipartisan Holiday Greetings

From my good friend, David Kopp. It gave me a good laugh, so I had to share.......

To All My Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas/Hannukah and a Happy New Year!

To go to all that effort not to offend, and yet get the initial salutation incorrect...I mean really!!

Democrat is a noun, whereas, in that sentence you are modifying the noun, "friend" thus requiring an adjective. It should read "to my democratic friends."
