Here’s a letter I wish I’d been clever enough to write:

A Succinct Analysis

Here’s a succinct analysis of the past election:

The Democrats’ mistake was in thinking that a disastrous war, national bankruptcy, erosion of liberties, corporate takeover of government, environmental destruction, squandering our economic and moral leadership in the world, and systematic administration lying would be of concern to the electorate.

The Republicans correctly saw that the chief concern of the electorate was to keep gay couples from having an abortion.

Is that great or what? Sadly the Star’s letters are not available on line. I got the hard copy on Friday from a friend. I love it.
