I got a chuckle out of this e-mail being circulated among New Orleans housing activists this morning. Santa may need more security in his e-mail:

Dear Santa:

Thank you, thank you for the Alphonso Jackson voodoo doll, all stick-pin accessories included!

Not wanting to be greedy, but considering how successful this device has been, if you could please give me an advance on my 2008 David Vitter doll.

Ever so grateful for 44 years of wonderful presents!
