e-Mail From a Friend

I sent him a little one-liner I wrote to see what he thought:

"I like. Went to your blog hoping to find more but only more parsing of Iraq and insulting of Gore. Happy Birthday anyway. "

Hm, well, normally I wouldn't take this kind of thing lying down, but he liked the joke. Although did he really? Is he just softening me up with that opening? He's a bureaucrat in real life, so he has that skill set.
