A letter to the editor
Dear Editor: I am scared, and I am outraged.
As a former prize-winning investigative reporter for a Minnesota newspaper, I am very alarmed as I watch the deliberate destruction of the institutions that have long made America a bastion of freedom and morality. That applies to the dynamic "neutral" press and the U.S. Congress itself.
On Jan. 23, half a million hopeful peace-seekers marched in protest of this heinous and illegal war in Iraq. The New York Times saw fit to print the story -- on Page 21! The Los Angeles Times estimated a crowd of 3,000 -- even when other media estimated a crowd of 350,000 to 500,000. Most of the California press chose to ignore the event altogether.
Our outlandish would-be monarch, George W. Bush, espousing "democracy" in Iraq for our reason for invading, has brazenly and simultaneously launched an attack on our own democracy and press (along with the environment).
Global warming, a phenomenon very alarming to the wide majority of the world's scientists, and increasingly "the people," has under Bush become little more than a political football.
Pundit and Bush-loving columnist Rush Limbaugh has referred to those concerned scientists as "a bunch of wussies." Bush himself has called reducing fossil fuel use "bad for the U.S. economy."
Folks, we are living with a dangerous "Alice in Wonderland" mentality. Up is down and black is white. Liberals are maligned as being dangerous and unpatriotic.
What to do? Scream and holler at the press and Congress, with a demand for immediate removal of the world's most powerful leaders, both of whom I truly believe to be mentally unbalanced and ruthless. Forget the "nonbinding resolution." Charge the dauntless duo with high treason.
Former President Clinton underwent impeachment proceedings for an indiscreet affair with Monica. How about a president/vice president team usurping our so-called democracy, and trying to turn it into a police state?
Who are the real patriots here?

“Folks, we are living with a dangerous “Alice in Wonderland” mentality. Up is down and black is white.”
She is talking about herself and she does not even realize it.
Why be on the defensive? This should be turned around. The demand should be for traitors like this idiot to be arrested and tried for being a traitor.
lol. the 2000 elections drove these boneheads of the bridge. Hilarious.
This was posted in the Onion, right?

Drama queen.
Why do I get the feeling that these idiots will keep the impeachment talk up till inauguration day, then claim they drove Bush from office?
How are we a police state? She obviously has no idea what a real police state looks like. Her whole letter is absurd - big on wild accusations and small on facts.
If she ever was to run into a REAL police state, she’d wet her panties in an instant.
Well I found one thing I agree with here, she spelled “Editor” correctly.
Hey,Sue...pretty impressive CV.What's next for you...a prize from a newspaper in North Dakota?

Madison, pretty much the same thing
“As a former prize-winning investigative reporter for a Minnesota newspaper”
Junior high school student newspaper award?
Hey, it’s Mad City, so what does one expect? I spent a year there working at the UW back in the late 1980s. The only city in America of which I’m aware in which the fine for parking on the street in front of your home is greater than the fine for doing bong hits in the state capitol rotunda.
In fairness, the lakes are gorgeous and the food along State Street is pretty good.
Former President Clinton and his spinners convinced many, including this “prize winning investigative reporter”, that his impeachment was over sex, and NOT perjury. Ms. “Prize-Winning” ain’t too bright, is she? These are the type of people who call for impeachment of President Bush when there is nothing there.
Scott Ott does it again... ;p
Don't worry, it was probably only a Pulitzer.
