Letters to the Editor

Let us see.
Honest.
If I use the s-word or the g-word or even the n-word, I intend no disrespect. That 'piece' letter about garbage was inspirational.
Many investors grow rich from the manufacture of worthless products. They disdain the people who buy the 'junk' that pads their pockets, spit shines their eating spoons. While they keep at filling their overseas bank accounts, they {"rich"}do go grrreri foam froth via their canine teeth via a chicken-wing bone. Snarl.
The work of most executives is unproductive. Oh, 'um deserve a 12-million dollar annual bankroll or a good shovel, pick, rake, and a hoe? A garbage hauler is a delicate work for a pittance, but the role they fulfill is a noble work with that scrub brush, broom, and mop.
The by-product stench from the rise of the neocon has rotten-ed an awful lot of land, minds, and it certainly has made our nation spiritually of many people replete with a rancid pile of verbal sludge that is a stench to high blue sky heavens.
My respect for menial workers is sincere. My greatest appreciation for those who do work, began back in my draft war days. The California Watts burned ghetto's landed in a green jungle. A New Yorker from bed ford Stuyvesant was as valued as if his thought expression should be displayed at the Soho. My daughter was born on MLK's birthday and in war we of diverse color talked about urban riot. It's now.
N-word or W-word etc., a Y-word is that people, who cares what color (!), do clean where others have degraded places. For the garbage can't be hauled out of the world' and it must be dumped at sea or in a soy/corn field? No.
The 'stuff' needs to be 'put' someplace. However, the inevitable misnamed "sanitary landfill" in our area, honest, is on a new road across the Johnnycake creek and named Earth Care road. Serious.
Once places of dignity and beauty, creeks, woodlots, marshes or farms are ruined, WHO is to blame?
The 'garbage' or the 'soup' talk is fine with me. I get so hungry I gained a chubby dimension belly condition since reading here. We are dealing with killing messes. Why get giddy and happy while shooting, lies, and bows to the verbal polluters goes on to ail us. Bad leaven. I belive in getting giddy too. Giddy!
...The sick condition of the neocons spreads. Beware...
...The person who is willing to profit while slowly at work to encourage what will eventually kill their family, the lady beetle, a worm, and the extended human family, ain't to be respected, in my book.
Take a pencil in the paw and fill out a job application for dog and mutt-mess maker. Feel even greater happy, happy, happy. Once in awhile wail! That can cause you to feel feel more happy, yet. Some people in fancy skirts and pants, I agree, snarl. They can be dangerous if NOT muzzled. Yes for 1st amendment protections, that's what happening here. I think a poison control manager, or a cat house, or a garbage in/out...HERE, someone needs to take a trip to the dump? okay.
By the way while we are talking virtue vs vice, and it's hard to always appear we are trying the damn hardest to be nice, while we/I view what is almost unmentionable {filth} in our attitudes and world landscapes...I'm out of here today to get a few good chores done. I'm making "enemies."
HINT: A local dog catcher resigned in my county because of rabies, flea bites, and scrounge fur mange. Hint.

A-Litter of p-p-pups
I had no idea we were the subject of discussion elsewhere in the blogosphere, but I for one will accept the compliment.
Trolls are never discussed anywhere in the blogosphere, are they? And Glenn's blog has never been discussed, has it?. You would think it's noteworthy to be considered superior to some of the more famous trolls. If anything, it was a compliment to Glenn and the level of intelligence of the diverse and numerous readers his blog, with the exception of this just modest enough to exclude himself commentor, and the trolls like you, of course.
Paul,
You are correct. It should read, "Not even the slowest of incompetent partisan hacks is stupid enough or brave enough to sign on board this jinxed and sinking ship. The bottom of that barrel has been scraped clean away until there is no bottom left."
The Financial Times is more like The Onion without a sense of humor. Hey. How is that right wing parody news show doing?
Shooter, you do have a talent, (for something), but you've got to lay off the gratuitous alliteration stop puh-puh-puh-p-peeing in your Sugar Puh-Puh-Pops.
So, we don't care about the yapping of pit yorkies. It's all just noise. Meanwhile there are interesting things going on in the world, much more interesting than the latest paroxysm of petulance, practiced by pusillanimous partisans. And I am here to help.

Mrs. Malaprop is alive and well
and she can't tell her apotheosis from her apogee, nor her rubric from her rule, nor, I'd bet, her burro from her burrow. (That is, her ass from a hole in the ground.)

Idiot's Dance
RealName tries to find another distraction--Winnie Mandela. Once again, we have a foreign example over which American liberals and Democrats have no say.
I guess 'rule of law' depends on who get to enforce the law.
he concludes. But what evidence does he present that Winnie Mandela was treated exceptionally? Typically, none.
In fact, the political folly and impossibility of holding everyone--on both sides--criminally liable for acts during the struggle against apartheid was recognized in the establishment of South Africa's Peace and Reconciliation Commission, which absolved people of criminal liability on both sides--in some cases of acts much more heinous and extennsive than those that Winnie Mandela was accused of, and tried for.
This has helped produced an unprecedented reconciliation of the sort that gives hope to people around the world. Many of those responsible for torture, terrorism and murder in the preservation of South Africa's racist apartheid system escaped criminal prosecution in precisely this way. And it was the victims of this violent repression who were responsible for establishing this process as part of the rule of law. When have conservatives ever been so forgiving to liberals? Ignoring this unprecedented mountain, RealName idiotically tries to score points off of the molehill of Winnie Mandela.
Meanwhile, Shooter opines:
In short, life is good, and you people just can't stand it.
Ummm, not so much:
Bush approval hits new low of 28%:

And as for the broader question of whether the American people think the country as a whole is doing well:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1617537,00.html
One of pollsters' favorite questions is this: Do you think the country is on the right track, or do you think it's going in the wrong direction? As you would expect, when the right-track number is pretty high or rising, incumbents do well (Ronald Reagan in 1984, Bill Clinton in 1996), or the incumbent's party does well (George H.W. Bush in 1988). When the wrong-track number goes up, the party in power gets ousted. The public wants change and gets it by defeating the incumbent--Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George H.W. Bush in 1992.
Right now, the wrong-track number is off the charts. Most polls have two-thirds or more of Americans saying the country is going in the wrong direction, with only about a quarter of the nation believing we're on the right track. Add Bush's 60%-plus disapproval rating, and Democrats think they're sitting pretty for 2008.
So, whatever drugs it is you use to block out reality, Shooter, now's the time to stock up and double down.
Think 1932. It's going to be a rough couple of decades (maybe generations) for your side.
