if anyone's got a minute, perhaps you could look at my column... |
|
I often post my weekly newspaper column here and usually get one or two replies, but today I posted it twice and got no replies at all. I use DU as a source of ideas for the column, which appears in a small daily (15,000 circ) in (very red) central Pennsylvania, and appreciate any feedback/corrections/suggestions/future ideas. It's available online at:
www.cumberlink.com/articles/2005/08/04/editorial/rich_lewis/lewis01.txt
or posted here today at:
www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x144887
thanks.
and mods, I have reprint permissions for the column as long as the paper is credited.

1. Read your column? The day that Novak Walked Off the Set??? |
|
So what if Poland is upset and * is clearing brush while the world goes up in flames?
Just kidding, I read it, it's great.

2. That was very well written. |
|
And it's always good to keep reminding folks of B*sh's past mistakes like that. He makes so many, it's hard to keep them all straight.
Nice work!

This is the sort of column I'd share with all of my intelligent friends. Very well said.

one thing i would point out though is that although Poland trusted us (well, you know...THEM....) and sent troops it was a symbolic gesture. I don't know what Poland's standing army numbers are, but 1700 is a small % of whatever it is. My point is, duped or not, they were comlicit in giving the illusion of a coalition. A true commitment was never asked for nor given.

8. I like your style as well as |
|
the content. I'm editor of a small publication with several writers. Your points are well chosen and to the point — no rambling. I'd give this a very high readability rating.

9. we self-enforce a very strict 850-word limit... |
