An e-mail:

As a New Englander who’s voting for Bush, I got the SERIOUS creeps when I read your e-mail about the Sox winning and giving Kerry some momentum somehow. Look, just leave the Sox OUT of this election. Do not talk about them, do not write about them, do not think about them. Leave it alone. You are messing with some seriously bad stuff; I’m talking voodoo stuff, witch stuff. Do not mess around with this, especially not a week and a half before Halloween. You have no idea what sorts of jinxes or hexes you might cause. You don’t know what goblins or spirits you might unleash.
Please don’t bring it up again.
