Dear Mr. MacKenzie:

It sincerely pains me to have to do this, but after sixteen (16) years of subscribing to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, I [Mudboy Slim] HEREBY CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION!! Sure, I'll miss the Sports page and its wonderful coverage of my Redskins and my Wahoos, but the rampant LeftWing bias that has overcome this once-great newspaper is more than I can stomach!!

It's not your Editorial Page, Ross, and I will continue to read your column on-line...however, Jeff Schapiro's anti-GOP, anti-Earley Bias during the past campaign was simply beyond my significant capacity to tolerate IGNORANCE!!

So, Mr. MacKenzie, it is with a heavy heart that I bid you and your tabloid 'adieu'...it was a fun and educational 16-year ride.

Good luck in fixing what you must acknowledge is WRONG with the RTD...when Mr. Schapiro is summarily-dismissed, I'll be Bach!!

Quite Sincerely,

MUD

BOYCOTT UKROPS!!!! The Ukrops family were big supporters of Warner, even joining the "Republicans for Warner" group of nitwits. Kroger is cheaper & has a great beer selection. Go to Krogers and get some Fan Lager today!

"BOYCOTT UKROPS!!!!"

I already do...it's the damMissuz I can't wean off the place. You know last week she paid $1.49 fer some lightly seasoned spaghetti noodles, pre-cooked and pre-packaged so all she had to do was put 'em in the Micro-wave fer 30 seconds?! I almost snatched her checkbook and credit cards away right then and there...LOL!!

I'm a Food Lion MVP Customer and damned proud of it!!

There aren't enough hours in the day or freepers in the universe to to freep all the lefties in my neighborhood. It's quite the enclave of liberals and wanna be liberals. Hubby and I are probably the only God fearing gun owners in a 40 block radius.

FReegards!

I rememeber back in my VCU days (late Carter, early Reagan) how all the lib-journalists-to-be used to fume at the then op-ed conservatism of the Richmond Times-"Disgrace." Guess the name applies now, but for an unfortunate reason.

LOL...Editor-in-Chief Ross MacKenzie's still a good Conservative, but he's obviously been stripped of any real power over content these days. When did you graduate from VCU? I received my Masters from the School of Business in '92.
