3. Oh, the letter did make this week's edition.

I've decided one reason he prints my letters is because he knows the firestorm they draw, which helps circulation. Sometimes I tell people, "Hey, I was 5'11 when I moved here!" (5' now) Threats have been made to my face though not in the paper of course. But a typical response came from a particular guy who started out his letter this way: LYING HYENAS OF SOCIALISM! He tells the truth about as well as McConnell. He preaches about FEMA death camps, secret Muslim Kenyan armies being trained by Obama, they're coming to round us up, folks! Take all our guns and freedumbs just like the Nazis! The total failure of ObamaCare is God's punishment on the President for plotting genocide of the white race! All that crap. And his letters always follow mine. I suppose he thinks he's putting me in my place but good!

Wonder why I'd bet your house he's in the alleged-Patriot militia? Well, he's known where I live ever since 2005, and I'm still here. Who knows how long, but I can't worry about that.
