In most circumstances, I would more likely say inappropriate or maybe wrong. But sometimes, unseemly is the best choice. Take, for instance, solicitations for political campaign contributions. I get a steady stream of such requests – probably because I respond to some of them with a few discretionary shackles that I put into the pot for folks who I either support or at least whose opponents I despise. I expect that you get similar solicitations.
Yesterday, as in the past couple of months, I made a political donation to a candidate in a state other than my own. The candidate is running against a doctor who I consider a charlatan and snakeoil huckster; you know the guy. This morning, I got what was most likely a computer-generated thank you note from the candidate and his spouse – very sweet.
This afternoon, I received an urgent email exhorting me to contribute more than I contributed yesterday; the campaign coffers are running low, it seems. That’s unseemly if not a complete mockery of this morning’s expression of gratitude.
Me, I am just thinking, “Give me a fucking break, John.”
