I'm going to write you a letter

My newspaper at home is in the midst of a conundrum. Their opinion section is being overrun by 'bleeding heart liberals;' there aren't enough letters extolling the virtues of our fair president.

We've been getting more letters critical of President Bush than those that support him. We're not sure why.

Hmm... I wonder why.

Dear Editor,
      I find it terribly offensive that there are millions of people under a leader who was not democratically elected, who is legislating hatred for minority groups, who is ruining the country's economy with nationalistic wars, who is controlling the media outlets, who keeps a layer of secrecy around the government's actions, who is ruining the environment, who jeopardizes the safety and legitimacy of those who oppose him, and who, quite frankly, doesn't seem mentally capable of running a country. I full heartedly support any means of ridding the world of such leaders.

Sincerely,
Bob.


(edit: The newspaper has since reworded the article since they received too much flak. If you scroll down, though, you can read the original article that asks for letters of Presidential support.)
Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
