weird news of the day

A few weeks ago my husband received a congratulatory notice in the mail from the National Rifle Association; someone bought him a membership. Suffice it to say that the NRA's political views are not in line with ours. To put it mildly, we are not fans of the NRA. To put it bluntly, we wouldn't take a free membership and you couldn't pay us to join. What makes the story even weirder is that we do not know the person listed on the card, that is-the name of the person who gifted my husband with said membership. We've never heard of this person. So my guy called up the good ole' NRA and told them he wanted the membership cancelled. They were very polite. Cancellation complete.

Fast forward to this afternoon. What was awaiting my husband in our mailbox today? His NRA membership packet. So he called back and found that his membership was properly cancelled, however it takes a month or so for all of their paperwork to catch up. Weirdness all around.

And while I'm on the subject of the NRA-I'd like to know why they didn't cancel Dick Cheney's membership after he shot his hunting buddy in the face. (Just how does one accidentally shoot a hunting buddy in the face anyway?)
