Shep's not the only one. Here's a sweet and thoughtful wingnut email I received:
You're nothing more than the average run of the mill Communist. Of course you work in the "entertainment" industry, another liberal communist who doesn't work hard for a living trying to tell "hard-working Americans" how to live. I would love to punch a guy like you in face, but the sad thing is that slime like you exists, so I have to live with that. Too bad the Cold War is over, you would have fit in well in Moscow.
