A bit of a self congratulatory post. My ltte got published. |
|
Today, September 10, 2006, my letter to the editor got published in our local paper, the Quad City Times. I railed against the TV program which ABC is showing tonight and pointed out facts. To view the letter, go to www.qctimes.net and click on opinions. Mine is headed "The Path to 9/11 plays as propaganda". What is kind of funny is that there is a section to comment on letters and articles and mine is drawing some fire. One person seems to think I'm a guitar player for Aerosmith. If you read it, feel free to add your own comments. Ok, bragging over. Thank you for indulging me.

I see the delusional freepers have their panties in a wad over your letter, I guess you made the unforgivable sin of truth telling.

Is the tide turning?

I usually read the letters a couple of times a week. Always glad to see a good one. I left a comment. We'll see if it shows up.

10. Kudos to you, Bluzmann57! |
|
Anybody else see the full page ad in NY Times today for P911 claiming "The Years that Led Up to It Everything That Might Have Prevented It"
Like, maybe, inaugurating Al Gore, who won the election in 2000? I doubt that's in the movie.

14. BTW, I can't believe some of those comments over there |
|
it's like half of this country spent the last 16 years in a completely alternate reality.

Great letter. I was just over there to see if they printed my comment and they finally did (I'm "TheDoorbellRang"). They've got a whacky system where you have to type in a code before posting. Took over an hour, but it's up now.
I counted 12 bushbots out of 39 comments -- @31%. The backwash is alive and well. And what's with the guy making the veiled threat about knowing your name now. Seems to me the Nazis were known for their thuggishness, too.

But my response pales in comparison to the one above it written by "The Doorbell Rang". Whoever that poster is (and great freaking name!) certainly nailed it. :thumbsup:

Thanx for the kind words. "TheDoorbellRang" is the user name I thought up long after I joined DU. I wish I could change it here, too.

18. After the last presidential election, there was a name change amnesty. |
|
People could change names without losing posts and other info. Some people who joined than had names that were time or candidate sensitive.
