SPEW

Some of us write letters that should be of at least marginal import to readers of Calendar, but they’re usually ignored by the Letters Page editor(s).

Some of us type in double-space for easy typesetting. Some of us actually proofread for spelling. And some of us actually are concerned about art, movies, rock music, or something else appropriate to Calendar. But what do we get on the Letters Page for our efforts? About a quarter page of drivel about a lost dog, correct grammar and the U.S. Constitution.

Ever since that first idiot wrote in about the king of Spain (Charles II) looking like someone’s gerbil, Calendar Letters has gone straight downhill. Does this kind of spew really sell papers? Must be 100% Rick Dees fans who read the paper nowadays. Regain some control over your journalistic ethics already!
