After 9/11, Rudy wasn't a rescue worker -- he was a Yankee

Giuliani said he spent as much time at ground zero as many rescue workers. Where was he really? Much of the time, at baseball games.

    What an excellent, representative cross-section of lunacy

    ...are some LWs who have thus far responded. What small problems our politicians have in comparison the serious mental illnesses of these, their constituents.

    Each new article brings a flood of noise and babble until I am at a loss to try and filter through the clutter. The forums here at Salon are in decay and may need their own "fascist" editor to weed out the irrelevant, asinine and in some cases deranged commentary.

    What is our future if 90% of the country is lost in the video/computer world and many of the rest are an example of lost ethics, incoherent thoughts and sniveling paranoia? One person attacks the entire population of the Midwest, one blames whitey, one blames the SF "libruls", another drools and babbles.

    I apologize to the most of you who still retain your faculties. Good luck to you and try to stay free from the bedlam.

    Perhaps if we had a rating system whereby we rated one another's letters.

    1. 1. Very good letter, worthy of Editor's Choice
    2. 2. Thoughtul and well-written
    3. 3. Nice try, but does not stand up to scrutiny
    4. 4. Stop blaming all your problems on minorites
    5. 5. Stop blaming all your problems on whitey
    6. 6. This is not the Rush Limbaugh show
    7. 7. This is not the Jerry Springer show
    8. 8. Missed his meds this morning
    9. 9. Meds aren't working at all
    10. 10. Please drain his gene pool

    If it were not that I fear for my country, it would be a privilege to see so much confusion.
