Returning to work after attending a Habitat for Humanity kickoff campaign, I noticed an email in my Blackberry inbox. After reading it, I went to the Active Rain website, and surely enough, Borat (?) did send me the following message via the Active Rain website:

| Paul's New York Times comments |

| Paul is a serious liberal weenie with little of substance to say. Paul - please stop! You are a complete embarrassment to your profession and to anyone living in the real world. |
After ruling out people that I know, who might actually be playing a little internet gag on this Friday afternoon I became convinced that Mr. Borat must have read my comments in the NYTimes today, tracked my name back to Active Rain and sent me his little screed. For those who might be interested in what I wrote, I am including it below. It is a response to an article by Paul Krugman, Professor of Economics at Princeton University and ah, Nobel Laureate in Economnics:
255. HIGHLIGHT (what's this?) Paul Gaddes Franklin, TN December 4th, 2009 1:40 pm Thanks for this cogent, honest and revealing expose on the GOP's Senate strategy...I live in a Red State and am forwarding this article to my two GOP Senators, Mssrs. Alexander and Corker, who, will of course ignore these facts and vote against health care reform. Recommend Recommended by 27 Readers (Notice that the Times gave my post a Highlight rating which means it represents a broad group of readers)
So, now that I know that I am a weenie, and having been called out by a person who won't honestly identify himself and by looking around to realize that "I don't live in the real world" (although, I do like Tennessee) I guess I will change my lifelong beliefs, political affiliations and go against all the lessons that I have learned in life...oh, the power of an anonomous email...
