Adventures in Idiocy: Worst Letters to the Editor from the Holiday Weekend (Pt. 4 of 4)
Singing baritone for our D-G-weekend-letter quartet is this missive from Julia Randle of Jacksonville, AR. Everything that had lips had something to say about Michael Vick. Which you would all know if you were tuned in to the random opinions…
Adventures in Idiocy: Worst Letters to the Editor from the Holiday Weekend (Pt. 3 of 4)
So…uh…Sunday’s paper? There weren’t actually any terrible letters to the editor. I know! Seriously, I’m as shocked as you are. In place of a Sunday letter, I’ll just link to the November 11, 2010, Adventures in Idiocy that I wrote.
Adventures in Sanity: BEST Letter to the Editor from the Holiday Weekend (Pt. 2 of 4)

Adventures in Idiocy: Worst Letter to the Editor, Dec. 8, 2010
Continuing my current favorite feature, let’s peek at page 9B of the good ol’ Democrat-Gazette and see what we can see. Hmmm…a letter suggesting restricting the number of children a woman on welfare can have, a letter that raves about…
AR-Sec. State: A van down by the river
Thoughts, reactions, and (mainly) unnecessarily sarcastic comments regarding Seth Blomeley’s fluffy Democrat-Gazette feature on Secretary of State-elect Mark Martin from last Sunday. “I had the opportunity to deliver checks from the committee to the politicians here in Arkansas,” Martin said.…
AR-House Dist. 41: Total Coincidence, I'm Sure
Yesterday, Max did a post about Rep. Ed Garner’s introduction of his capital-gains bill, and, in the post, he linked to an allbusiness.com reprint of a Democrat-Gazette article, writing: Rep. Ed Garner, the Republican sales and income tax deadbeat from…
