Governor Sam Brownback

Posted on 05:56 by hony
So it turns out that Governor Sam Brownback has an internal team that works for Governor Sam Brownback that searches social media for instances of the name Governor Sam Brownback.
Now, rather than use this knowledge to troll Governor Sam Brownback's policies or bash Governor Sam Brownback personally...well...readers of this blog know that I recently applied to be a NASA astronaut.

So (operating under the assumption that Governor Sam Brownback's social investigation team will find this post) I'd like to use this opportunity to send a message to Governor Sam Brownback personally:

Governor Brownback, 
If you put in a call to Charles Bolden and/or Lori Garver at NASA and get me on the top of the pile for the astronaut job, I'll gladly be your 'yes man' from here on out. Some of your policies are not especially tasteful to me, but all that will be forgotten, instantly, Governor Brownback, if you use your limitless connections, bountiful charisma and charming good looks to help me get that astronaut job. In fact, I will personally call you, from space, to thank you for your wonderful assistance and will overtly and in front of the entire world (literally) praise you as the best Governor the state of Kansas has ever seen.
Your humble and obedient,
Alex Waller

There's no "or else" here, no "otherwise." I remember when I was in high school that getting into a military academy essentially required a letter of recommendation from a public servant. I'm sure the Governor Sam Brownback seal of approval would help with NASA! So thanks in advance, Governor Sam Brownback.
