Mission accomplished

I received the following (cleverly crafted) e-mail from the NDP team on Saturday:

On a better note, we’ve almost succeeded in our campaign to buy an ad on theglobeandmail.com. We just need about $2000 more to make it a go. Can I count on you to make it happen? Please donate online now by clicking here.

When people log on to theglobeandmail.com on Monday, let’s make Jack Layton and the NDP the first thing they see.
