A Little White Dog and his Squeaky Blue Pencil

I remember as a boy, when days seemed as long as weeks, weeks were as long as months and years were beyond comprehension. Birthdays marked the beginning of another lifetime spent waiting for the next birthday to arrive.

Now the days are as long as minutes, weeks as long as hours, months are like days and years just pass by like so many mile markers on a drowsy highway. I looked into the eyes of my just-born sons just a while ago, it seems, but for each of them that moment was a lifetime ago.

Donkey in the Sitting Room

Once again, I am utterly flabbergasted at the venomous ignorance displayed by liberals around the globe. When such behavior is displayed by University students such as this brilliant fellow (in league with the student editorial board), I get a bit nauseated and disheartened about the future.

This comes from the Colorado State University student newspaper, “The Rocky Mountain Collegian” and was published as an editorial in the opinion page, saying "Taser this .. (expletive) BUSH."

Anyway, such a moronic display deserves to be addressed loudly by the American Public. I emailed the faculty advisors this response on the subject. They claim that responses will be reviewed in a Tuesday meeting as they investigate the matter.

Holy Cow!

I can simply imagine that intense pride swells in your breast, after you have made such a heroic stand for the defense of free speech. Yes, in fact the image is so vivid that it makes me want to vomit. I have long been fond of the bright intellect of youth, and so [his] death grieves me to no end.

I suspect that behind this brilliance lies a simple fascination with using the guttural word for copulation. This practice has been rewarding in popular music, to the exclusion of demonstrable talent in either verse or melodic assembly.

Bless you also, for validating a long-simmering notion that “the press” bears resemblance in name only, to a principle that once was worth dying-for. Perhaps one day, the wisdom of such First Amendment ideals will regain our affections. Your efforts; however, cast such an outcome in the darkest of shadows, and I should not restrain my breath while waiting.

Sincerely,

Phil Harris

Perhaps you could have a few words to share with the “Editorial Board” as well. I encourage you to deliver your message clearly and with due haste; because, there is very little worse than a moron, who believes him or herself to be an intellectual giant. It is akin to feeding a donkey a bucket or two of greasy cornmeal, and then locking him up in the formal sitting room. You know… the one that has the white carpets and silky light-colored upholstery.
