I just sent this letter to the editor at FAUXNews.com
Re: Communists for Kerry


Editor’s Note:

In an version of this article that was published earlier, the Communists for Kerry were portrayed as a group that was supporting John Kerry for president. FOXNews.com’s reporter asked the group’s representative several times whether the group was legitimate and supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman insisted that it was.

Terri's Note to Editor:

FOXNews.com's reporter might have done the tiniest amount of background research on the group's origin before taking their word. But wait, I guess that would constitute journalism, wouldn't it?

4. n/t means "no text" in the body.
What the heck does TTYL mean?

BTW - I think a letter to Santa Claus would do more than a letter to Faux News but thanks for the effort!

5. TTYL
Talk To You Later. It took me a long time to get that one - even after people told me. I don't use it myself.

And the letter to Faux was meant to amuse me and others, not to enlighten them. They are pigs. I learned a long time ago it isn't a good idea to try to teach pigs to dance - it doesn't work and it just annoys the pigs.
