1. From the looks of these letters, I am surprised that these people can actually read the paper.
They all appear to be people to whom English is a second language.

4. This one caugfht my attention
Posted by guappo1 on 10/12/08 at 6:34PM

I am a retired steelwork who is worried about what is happening to the country. I worry about the economy, health care and things that men my age, considers important. All that being said the thing that worries me the most is what kind of life will my children and grandchildren have. The change is needed, if it comes from a person of color then so be it. How can we as American sit back and support people who have led us on the wrong path? McCain and Bush, no maverick just a sidekick for Bush. (Biden).
I live in Colorado so maybe my views mean nothing to the readers. I still feel I have links to the area which my grandparents left so many years ago




Now some 90-percent induced screed;

I dont interact with young people that much, but when I do I tell them I apologize for my generation wrecking their futures and the futures of their children. Good luck on all these impending earth changing natural disasters you'll all be distracted by. We were all too self absorbed to realize there might be future generations that would also like to eventually get some good use out of the entire earth before it's spent and wrecked for eternity.

Our bad.

-90% Jimmy

On the bright side the new season of Sarah Silverman has finally started.

5. This, I can read.
This I can read:

Olny srmat poelpe can raed this.
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the first and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed this psas it on !!

Psas It ON !


This, not so much:

I'm extremly dsapionyed with The Express times endorsement. This just confirms the liberal bias in the media. Obrak Husien Obama is just whaT THIS COUNTRY DOSENT NEED. I always though the news was supose to be unbias, Well why is the Truth about Obrak Husien Obama being suppress and not Report. Example his pass association with ayers, Franklin marshal Davis. His relationship with Acorn, His relationship with odinga odinga from kenya. His campain funding from outside of the USA.Why would we want a socialist agendas in the USA. Like any good co man he'll say whatever you want to get elected. I say again this election has only one choice thats John Mcain A proving Hero of this country not a Empty suit like Obama who's willing to sell out this country to it's enemies. If the Express Time was a true voice then may be they would report on the truth and not become the propaganda tool of the left. The truth is out there if your willing to look go to world agencies like world net daily and read. Look at the record not the sound bits Like who voted for the community Redevlopment act the made banks write mortages to people who could afford them your man Borak Husien Obama.


And this, from someone who professes to "from {a} newspaper background"? As what, a fish seller? Newspaper boy in the 5th grade?

Good Morning- I am extremly outrage at that fact that a paper would chose a side. I come from newspaper background and we were never allowed to discuss our opinions to customers. I am so shocked that you would subject yourself as a paper and a voice of our community to allow this. Your editor should be put his head in his or her hands and cry in shame that he needed to something like this to make the paper more enjoyable. What about the tons of people who support John McCain and what he has to offer to his campaign. What do you think readers that support his causes are going to think of the paper now. I hope you revoke this and think on both sides of the spectrum. Or you will deserve all the letters and phone calls that you get.

6. That was hilarious
I especially liked this smackdown:

"If you have a newspaper background, you would know that opinion pages have been around forever and have been weighing in on topics ranging from international warfare to whether your dog should be allowed to take a dump in a public place since ink first hit paper. Presidential endorsements have been around that long too."

btw: I disagree with the comments made by folks who apparently think that people can't be that stupid and so must be pretending.

People ARE that stupid- and there are a lot of them out there- all you have to do is watch some of the youtube footage from the Palin rallies, to see them up close and personal.

7. In all fairness, it was very early in the morn, and Bachie wasn't all there,
as he himself, pointed out here:

"Heimat pardon my bad grammar and poor spelling it was early am ,but the truth is still the truth borak Husien Obama is still what he is an empty suit.The record will show that to anyone who would look at it. If the media would report from a fair and unbias opinion the truth would come out. Like any good con-men he'll tell you what you want to here. Borak Husien Obama is no messiah like louis faracon spurts. He has a questionable past and couldn't pass the most basic security cleanrance bassed on his questionable past."
