This is probably the shortest letter ash has ever submitted to the local paper. The backstory is it’s her response to a frequent contributor and self-righteous minister for whom she could practically write his material. In this instance, the gist of his editorial is that so-called civil liberties are undermining his brand of religion. Thus, the religious term “evil.”
By the way, ash didn’t read the piece, but merely the synopsis of it under the link to it. Apparently it captured his message accurately enough to be published – by the feuding editor.
Oh, and did ash mention this is the same correspondent who was allowed to solicit Christian prayer on ash’s behalf in the paper, which culminated in ash’s dispute with the editor? It’s nice to see her nemesis is still going strong.
Shorter Eugene J. Weitzel: I hate the ACLU because I believe in theocracy. Now ask me about how modest and humble I am.

I would like to comment on the recent In My View columns by [name withheld]and [another name withheld], and the letters to the editor from several left-wing writers.
Both of these columns were excellently written and as far as I could see were factual.
Letter writer [3rd correspondent] didn’t like the fact that comments by Sen. Dick Durbin were included. Instead of posting comments favorable to Durbin, she insulted the writers of these columns. Faux news (I assume that is a smart alec remark meaning Fox News) in my opinion has the best news on television.
People like [3rd correspondent] think that Fox News is totally conservative. Not true. Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes give conservative and liberal viewpoints and Geraldo Rivera and Greta Van Susteren are liberals with programs on Fox. I doubt that [3rd correspondent] has ever watched Fox News.
A couple of writers referred to one or both of these columns as “diatribes.” One of them was Milford Franks whom, in my opinion, is the king of diatribes. Give me a break.

ash had a jolly good time shredding the author of this unfortunate defense of the FOX News Network. Unfortunately Mike, the editor not only declined to publish it, he neglected to acknowledge receiving it. Which in turn reinforced ash's decision to cancel the paper.
Did someone say “Faux News”? Myself, I’m rather partial to “FOX Noise,” a spinoff of The Republican Noise Machine. It was coined by ex-conservative and perpetually atoning author and Media Matters website proprietor David Brock. In fact, he liked it so much he made it the title of a confessional book. Or maybe he appropriated the term from the title. Either way…
