Update from camp No. 2: Of prostitutes, guns and self-tanner
Posted by Niki Sullivan @ 05:29:17 pm

Hey gang,

It's been a couple of weeks since I last sent an update. Time sure flies when you don't receive any inquiries concerning your whereabouts!

Here's the scoop so far: Robert "The Traveller" Hill came to visit. (For those who don't know: check the comments here for a taste of Mr. Hill's style.) Not me, specifically. First, he stopped by to see Sen. Rosa Franklin. He didn't get in because he was carrying a gun. We're told it's a toy gun, but the state police don't look too kindly on that.

Next, he went to visit Sen. Debbie Regala.

[More:]

This time, he got in. And the good senator took notes on the conversation. The notes look like so:

Robert Hill -
support SB 6860 - carrying guns on higher ed campus.
oppose 6841 - banning guns on higher ed campus.
repeal 9.6.8 - obscenity and pornography.
repeal 9A.88.085 - promoting travel for prostitution.
repeal 29A.20.021 - qualifications for filing/appearance on ballot.
decriminalize all of RCW 9A.88 - indecent exposure - prostitution.
limit distances that cities/counties can send incarcerated people away from their families.

Other than that, I've been pretty busy. Last week, I was on a bus with Sen. John McCain. To answer a few questions: No, he's not short. No, he does not use self-tanner. And yes, I did get a photo.

Also, get this: You know how Tacoma has a Derek Young? Olympia has one, too. This one is really nice and sends me e-mails like, "hey, here's information." And I'm like, "thanks!"

What about you guys? Anything new?

Hope you're swell.
XOXO,
Niki

P.S. That care package you surely sent after my last letter must have gotten lost in the mail. I'll contact the postmaster general.

You're looking at McCain like "Don't bite me, dude!".

We have been warned that he is showing up to city meetings with the fake gun strapped on his leg. It is a bit scary considering:

Six Dead In Missouri City Council Shooting
Mayor Critically Injured; 2 Police Officers, 3 Council Members Killed; Shooter Left Suicide Note

Robert Hill has a severe case of AWS (Attention Whore Syndrome). Quit giving wackos like this pub, and they quickly disappear. It is the only sure fire method to combat this annoying disease.

Let the police know about this. I have a feeling they'll have something to say about it. Seriously.

Robert Hill is just one in a LONG line of AWS afflicted nut-jobs. He's just "special" because of the nudity thing - note that Hathaway doesn't get much play around here, thank GOODNESS.

Ah, "The Traveller"... Or, as I prefer to refer to him, "The Wanderer". Does anyone know when he began his political crusade? I am trying to determine a temporal reference point as to the origin of his moniker. I have my hunches.

My sister in law works in an office downtown that 'the traveller' frequents...he tried to get her to sign a petition a while back called, get this, tacoma masturbates..hah! he came back to let her know that only him and his mother participated in the event. that guy is out of his mind. i agree with jacob about the gun, that is pretty scary, toy or not.
