Dear Gov. Pawlenty:

It just came to my attention the other day that Jesse Ventura was no longer the Governor of Minnesota. When did this happen? I watch ESPN and TSN like crazy, and I don’t remember ever seeing a match, or even a challenge for Jesse’s title by you. So if you or one of your staff could write back to me and let me know where I can obtain a tape of the match, I’d be extremely grateful. Ventura is a tough opponent to take down, so I’ll bet it was as exciting as Ali vs. Fraser. Also, if you could provide a summary of some of the highlights in your reply, I’d appreciate it.

Oh, and how come I never see you wearing the belt? I know if it were me who had won, I would proudly display the belt every chance I got. I’ve considered the possibility that it is a smaller belt, and could be concealed under your clothes, but it hardly seems worth wearing if you won’t pull it out in public.

Anyhow, please get back to me as soon as possible, I’m dying to see the match and hear the details!

Sincerely yours,

NAME USED
