Richard Milhous LaPierre

By Miss Kubelik

Are you scratching your head, kicking yourself for not thinking of it before, and desperately wondering how you can get on the NRA's enemies' list?

After all you'd be in good company: the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Jewish Congress and Anti-Defamation League, Common Cause, the Environmental Action Fund, the Gray Panthers, the ILGWU (of "Look for the union label" jingle fame), the National Council of La Raza, the Police Foundation, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the United States Catholic Conference, the YWCA, Lauren Bacall, Tony Bennett, k.d. lang, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Sean Connery, Ethan Hawke, Spike Lee, Anne Rice, Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, Sylvester Stallone (!), Robert Redford and Jerry Seinfeld — plus some large corporations, media conglomerates and even a few dead people — are all on it. Clearly, it's the NRA against the world.

Well, never fear. Here's all the information you need.

Write the NRA an e-mail here.

Send the NRA a snail-mail letter to: 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030.

And if you're in a rush, here's a sample message:

"Dear NRA, Please, please, please can I get on your 'enemies' list'? Not only do I want my name next to Alec Baldwin's, Steve Buscemi's, Jodie Foster's and Garry Trudeau's (I'm at least as cool as they are), but it would be an honor to be hated by you. Thank you a million times for including me!"

(This is just a suggestion. We encourage you to have your own fun with it. For example, Kevin Bacon's on the list. Of course.)

In the meantime, we cats PURR.
