Question: Seeking a story I read online; letter to Bush, simple narrator talking about his own life

I'm trying to find a lovely story I read on the Internet perhaps a year ago. It was published in some (very) obscure online literary zine. Fairly lengthy.

The story was framed as a letter to President Bush, although it had nothing to do with Bush or politics. The narrator (letter-writer) was kind of a simpleton. I believe he was a construction worker or something similar. He talked about a particular co-worker, and his love life.

Thanks!

If I had to guess I'd say I followed a link there from Riley Dog, but his archives don't go back far enough to see.
