I AM IN THE PAPER
one of my comment letters was posted in the opinions section of the local newspaper, the oakland press
 


its a political peice heres what it says

ask what we could do to make relief efforts better
we democrats are being accused of using new orleans to take potshots at the republicans. where was the outrage when republicans argued that iraq was in on the 9/11 attacks? where was the outrage after it was descovered that all the fear mondering that led us into this never-ending struggle was false?

theres nothing more american then asking, "could we have done this better?" not asking this question often results in no progess being made

Was this a letter to a newpaper or are you a journalist? what paper as well? It is good to see that some americans actually have a mind of their own (ok, so im biased because i hate the republicans/liberals, but IMO the democrats/labour are almost as bad)

phht.  big whoop.

A picture of me completly naked, except for a small box covering my parts, is in the newspaper.  It's a tradition me and my friends have where we run a 5k race every year on thanksgiving.  We've been in the paper twice and on the news 3 times.  Fun stuff.   :o
