LTTE I just sent the local fish wrap
To the Editor,

So NORTHCOM was ordered to cool its heels and not go in after the disaster struck, per BBC Reporting. All the requests from Governor Blanco, up to 72 hours before teh disaster were ignored. Hell, the funding of the levy project was slashed so luxury projects can be porked out to Alaska. The Dallas News is reporting the Orange County Search and Rescue is cooling its heels at the Dallas Hyatt and now the talking point is that there is "enough blame to go around."

Sorry, we are not buying. The buck stops with the President, said Harry Truman, and it is time Mr Bush takes it. He is responsible, and he has been incompetent to the nth degree. It is time for Mr. Bush to tend his resignation, with the rest of the administration. If he is unable or unwilling to do such, the GOP most show a spine and love of country instead of party, and work with the Democrats to impeach this administration. The Democrats are willing to introduce the articles, and Impeachment and subsequent trial for all the crimes and misdemeanors committed by this administration has to follow. Enough is enough, and we even had our let them eat cake moment today on Larry King. Oh and it is time for the papers in this country to do their job as the fourth estate and stop shilling for the administration. I fear the alternative, but let them eat cake seems to be the attitude of the plutocracy.

1. Great letter!
Just STELLAR!

Best of all - that you wrote it and sent it in. This editorial department will have to look it over, and see what's probably yet another in a continuing and expanding series of LTTE voicing outrage against this White House. The buck stops ... WHERE?

2. I know. I truly don't expect to see that one in print
they are truly useful only for bird cage lining (Damn running out will need to get some), or wraping fish.

But the more and more letters they see nationwide they will start to realize, we are mad, very mad, and the alternative may be needed anyway.

3. Not bad at all
And as you surmise, even if it doesn't get published (and I'd bet it won't), it may put a few ideas into the heads of some people at the paper that the publisher probably wishes weren't there.

Very good point on the recently-passed Transportation Bill that included hundreds of millions of dollars for the Rep. Don Young Ego Enhancement Freeway in Alaska. There's NO more pressing need in the United States than another monument to an overinflated congressional ward-heeler?
