Is it just my hometown paper that get the idiots writing to the editor? [View All]

My hometown paper, The Wilmington News Journal, tends to lean to the left and the letters to the editor have constant criticisms against Bush. But I swear once a day they find the biggest dingbat letter and make it a point to publish it.

Example:

Someone in our paper today criticized our governor for calling a state of emergency in Delaware since the eye of the storm pretty much bypassed our state. Mind you only 3 days early 4 towns in New Castle county were wiped out due to excessive flooding from one of our 3 swollen rivers PLUS the southern part of our state did get hit pretty bad with flooding, damage and power outages (Reader was from North Delaware).

We had a write once complain that all of Delaware will rot in hell because we're selling booze on Sunday (I mean, we drunks in Delaware can drive 20 minutes to the MD or PA border and buy it there - so why not keep the money in our state?)

And a doozy from a few weeks ago (try not to gasp too loudly on this one). The writer said that the reason our soldiers are dying in Iraq is because God is getting his revenge for all the abortions committed in our country.

Anyone else get interesting letters in their paper? Can we administer IQ tests to anyone interested in writing (must be above 60 to have your letter published)
