One Wrong Word
There is one wrong word in this letter to the New York Times. See if you can figure it out:
To the Editor:
How can this be America? How can we fail to give good care to those who served America?
My heart goes out to every soldier who is living with a brain injury caused by [...]
Open Letter to Eric T. Fair
A man with no face stares at me from the corner of a room. He pleads for help, but I’m afraid to move. He begins to cry. It is a pitiful sound, and it sickens me. He screams, but as I awaken, I realize the screams are mine.
That dream, along with a host of other [...]
People Write to Me
Dear Brendan,
Thanks for your phone call and email. I’ve been swamped at work and this is my first chance to respond.
I realize that most people don’t listen to all of our shows but we have had a number of the liberal guests you suggested and many others on the show.
In the nearly 20 years that [...]
I Write Letters
Because no one has bothered to respond to phone calls or letters about Peter Beinart, pseudo-liberal and BS artist I am publishing the following letter to Radio Times
Dear Ms. Moss Coane and the rest of the staff at Radio Times:

Open Letter to Deborah Howell
Dear Ms. Howell,
According to my friend and colleague Richard Blair, the Washington Post has elected not to publish recent

Nancy Keenan is a Mole

I’m a little late to the table regarding the new atrocity that choice sellouts NARAL are backing: the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act, a Republican bill that “would require doctors to provide fetal pain information to women seeking [...]
Michael Kinsley Pulls a George Will
Why is columnist Michael Kinsley pulling a George Will?
Writing in his column, “Sins of the Father”, Kinsley claims, “[W]hen Bush came up and asked him how his son was doing, he basically told the president to flake off. Webb’s self-righteousness can be obnoxious.” Like Will, Kinsley deliberately neglects to mention two salient facts. [...]
LTE: Vital Muddle: Arlen Specter’s Pointless Op-Ed
Arlen Specter has some nerve writing about the “vital center”, because his votes and actions prove without a doubt that his moderate position is nothing more than empty words.
Mr. Specter writes that the GOP needs to “get the government off our backs.” That must be why his bill to supposedly limit the President’s illegal, [...]
LTE: After Protest, Specter Toes the Line
The only thing surprising in Steve Goldstein’s article
about Senator Specter’s decision to vote for the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which the Senator correctly characterized as “patently unconstitutional”, is how long it took for the Inquirer to catch up with what everyone else has known for the past three years: Arlen Specter talks a good [...]
