At the GNU Public Dictatorship they are nothing if not excited to see what I will post, which is why they have given me the opportunity to write to this forum.  Much has been going on in the world since the GPD's last posts, and I am going to try to help you, their faithful supporters, to understand how it will impact you.

At the GPD they are nothing if not opposed to senseless violence, or senseless anything, for that matter, which is why they join with the people of France in sympathy for their losses in the recent attacks on the satirical magazine that offended some people.  At the GPD they are nothing if not careful to not offend people, or at least to not offend supporters.  They don't have any problem offending their enemies, which is how it should be.

At the GPD they are also nothing if not dedicated to finding out what the full story with "Natasha" is, which is why they have been studying transcripts of her phone calls and other communications for the last year.  Some of their less-loyal supporters may be disturbed to know that they have transcripts of phone calls, but they assure me that nobody who is loyal to the GPD has anything to worry about.  The transcripts are so numerous that the effort required to analyze them is prohibitive unless there is some hint of disloyalty or potential addiction to brads.  Over the last few days they have discovered that "Natasha" is bored because she feels unfulfilled in her current life, and that she wants more.  She asked a friend, who we shall not name, if there were any positions open in the fledgling industry of combination brad/hole punches.  The market is only now emerging, as a response to posts like this one, which attempt to show how fun brads and hole punches can be.  "Natasha" was told that she could volunteer, but the money isn't there yet, thankfully.  Anyway, it is clear from the transcripts that "Natasha" isn't trying to rejoin the GPD for ideological reasons as she would clearly not be trying to find a job in such an offensive field if she was.  It is clear at this point that "Natasha" is simply looking for social fulfillment wherever she can get it.

At the GPD they are nothing if not pleased that the only remaining mystery surrounding this whole affair is the source of the churro note!
