Well said!

Take the Hill, Bill!

Though you and I disagree on much, I do commend your ongoing effort to stick it to the man, in this case, the Mainstream Media Man. I found your description of "public transportation", particularly the urine soaked transport tubes, quite amusing ... and unfortunately accurate. Keep hittin' them with facts (8 cents vs 43 cents/gallon, etc); it confuses them like a deer caught in the headlights, and it makes them look foolish for those still awake at the wheel.

I also found your letters-to-editor critique of Paul "Franking" Hodes - any relation to Buckey F'in Dent? - refreshing. And on this, I also commend the Monitor's editorial staff for bringing attention to this matter. I certainly thought Hodes's hypocritical mailings amusing when I received one, and wondered to myself how others thought of this flagrant taxpayer financed campaign mass-mailing. Now is there a special way for one to recycle this kind of garbage? Do we send it back to D.C. in sealed containers marked "Hazardous Waste"?

Keep givin' them hell Bill. I'll be watching from my perch on the slopes of the White Mtns.

Goodbye Mike & The Monitor Editorials

I read with sadness that Mike Pride is exiting the Monitor. I seldom agree with Mike but I have to admit that most of his editorial positions were balanced and demonstrated an understanding of the world and left the door open for debate and other points of view. I want to thank Mike for his work on the WWII initiative and for bringing the many great stories of those to heroes to life. Thanks Mike, you will be missed.
