Letters to the Editor

From the week of September 19, 2002

A A A Comments Thursday, Sep 19 2002

Looking back at the forgotten transgressions transpiring for the last 25 years (RTD junket, S&L scandal, evidence locker and police shootings), nothing ever seems to come before the courts, and when a case does, the culprit is always exonerated. Here's hoping you will rise to the occasion.

P.S.: Whatever happened to Neil Bush?

Baaa Humbug

Stanley by your man:The September 12 Off Limits comments about Rick Stanley, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, are disgusting. How can a person who claims to be an "honorable" Libertarian "know" all about Rick when Rick has never met the man? Why is Westword printing such misinformed statements?

I, for one, would not vote for an individual, regardless of his party, who was a server of drinks at a local strip joint: What kind of mentality is that? No, the person who is the true irritation here is Doug Anderson. He is the one who is misinformed and is being led like a sheep to the slaughter without so much as a "baaa." He apparently does not care about losing his sovereign rights or changing a politically corrupt governmental system to a constitutional government.

Power Drink

Playing gladiator: Enjoyed Julie Dunn's August 8 Drink of the Week. Actually, Russell Crowe's muscles looked a lot better thirty minutes into Virtuosity, since there was a lot more to see of him in that movie. So forget the toga and armor: The movie was nowhere near being good, but he certainly looked great!

The Meal World

Man does not live on bread alone: I just thought I would send along a bit of applause for Jason Sheehan's fun, insightful and well-written reviews. I read through some of the letters to the editor, and I wanted to join in with the "great job" crowd: I hope he didn't take any of the "write more about the food than yourself" people too much to heart.

Going out to eat is about a whole lot more than just the food -- because even if you have just eaten the best ginger beef in the world, if the waitperson who served it to you has dirty fingernails and yellow crust around her nose ring, it's going to have an impact.

But I think you know that already.
