Words in Flight

I agree with most of your endorsements, but in particular the one for President Obama. Two days ago I cancelled my subscription to the Bulletin (overdue, actually) when they endorsed Romney. As you write, trying to figure out his policies is akin to grabbing a handful of smoke. For those who think President Obama has done nothing, I'm posting a website that lists over 200 of his accomplishments while in office. He would have done much more save for the fact that the republicans fulfilled their vow to stand in his way no matter the issue. As for saying he's a traitor who should be tried for treason, that is a dangerous and totally undocumented accusation. One might want to be careful when making such a statement. But that aside, if one is interested in the truth, go to this site and read all the way to the bottom: http://pleasecutthecrap.typepad.com/main/what-has-obama-done-since-january-20-2009.html. As the Bible says, the truth can set one free. Or at least open one's eyes.

Neander, you're a genius. Pulitzer Prize winning article, IMHO. I've long been disenchanted with the Bulletin, but just when I think about pulling the plug on my subscription, I think about the delivery person who faithfully tosses my paper onto my driveway every day around 4 a.m., often double-sleeving when inclement weather strikes. And I think--well, I'm helping keep him/her employed, all in all not a bad thing. Thing is, while I read Costa's latest tome, I rarely actually peruse the Bulletin. The stress is just too much!

Thanks for covering the march, and for such an even-handed article. And also for posting the videos--actually saw myself! The turnout was great, and yes, the crowd was well-behaved, so it was good that no law enforcement were lurking about as if anticipating problems. Occupy Bend activities will continue--check the website, www.OccupyBend.org for updates. Thanks again, Mike. Good job!
