When I read it, I assumed she was probably joking. Then I noticed the hyphenated last name. I'm not so sure now.

I wondered about that also. The class of '05 throws me off a bit. Usually the hyphenated name is used by womyn libbers. Not willing to take the name of the man they marry they wish to retain the man's name with which they were born.

This thing's obviously a spoof. Check out this line:

Instead, it merely makes a mockery of all those people, especially myself, who try to correct those problems, by trying (unsuccessfully) to make us laugh and distract us from our important work.

You've got a point about the hyphenated name, though. If I were arguing the case in court that this letter was written in seriousness, that would be my primary piece of evidence.

But this letter is such an obvious characature of left-wing sanctimoniousness that I'll chalk the hyphen up either to coincidence or the letter writer getting the characature correct down to the last detail.

BINGO...first thing I noticed after putting my breakfast in the porcelain bowl half-way through the her spew.
