Mitt Romney open letter to President Obama FULL TEXT
2011-11-25 23:10:00 Mitt Romney sent President Obama an open letter laying out how the former Massachusetts governor plans to criticize the president if Romney wins the Republican nomination. FULL TEXTDear President Obama,Welcome to New Hampshire.I hope you enjoy your visit. In 49 days, voters here will be going to the polls to choose a Republican nominee to run against you. I would like to lay out for you some of what I will be saying on the campaign trail if I am fortunate enough to become my party?s candidate.I would begin by acknowledging that you were dealt a hard hand. You came into office in the midst of an economic crisis that was not of your making. You were asked to face great challenges and to solve difficult problems. The tasks before you would have taxed the abilities of any new president.But we now have had three years to watch your policies unfold and to assess their results. The evidence is in and it is unequivocal. I will be blunt. Your policies have failed. It is bad enough that they ...

It’s just that….you guys drive as though you’ve never encountered rain. As though these large, expensive, mobile machines we call cars, are not equipped to handle…water. As though... Read more »

I believe in your scaled-back sound and your humble demeanor. You don't put it flashy dance numbers or try to present yourself as some sort of untouchable pop princess. You've shown me, and others for that matter, on your YouTube channel the struggles and hardships that an artist goes through. I hope that you get that massive tour that you deserve and that you are able to bring music back to what's been missing lately: a soul. Here's to you, Nikki. Matthew Milam...

An Open Letter to Governor Quinn: Please Veto HB 3569
2011-03-09 20:30:00 Dear Governor Quinn: Two years ago exactly I started a small website, FantabulouslyFrugal.com. - I never expected to have ten readers, let alone the thousands of readers who stop by my site on a daily basis. On my site I write about the best sales and discounts that can be found online each day. Before long I was spending 12+ hours each day working on my website and it wasn't long before I figured out how to monetize my site. {This was in addition to my day job.} Contrary to popular belief, as a blogger I make very little revenue through direct advertisements. My #1 source of income is through affiliate marketing, which means that when I place a company's ad...
Open letter to CTA board: Change new rail car seating
2011-03-09 14:00:00 Photo by Ben MeyersonTwo weeks ago I reprinted a letter a from a self-admitted obese guy to the CTA, regarding the seating on the new Series 5000 rail cars currently being tested on the Red Line. The guy asked that the CTA:Remove the metal bars that run from the seat edge to the ceiling, andReplace the "molded seat" design with a flat bench design such as what New York City and other longitudinal-seating subway systems use.Then I posted a click poll for you readers to have your say n the subject. The majority of 300 poll takers agree that the CTA should switch to bench seating without confining poles.I promised to share these thoughts with the CTA board. Today is...

An Open Letter to the Meatballs Questioning Jay Cutler
2011-01-25 08:11:00 Ignore the fact that Cutler's diabetes complicates his ability to take a cortizone shot and go back on the field. Ignore the fact that Cutler pleaded with his coaches to stay in the game. Ignore the previous 17 games where Cutler was sacked moreso than any quarterback in the NFL. Ignore the fact Cutler, earlier in the game, lowered his shoulder into a Green Bay defender. Ignore Cutler's insistence to play in a regular season finale against the Packers when the game meant absolutely nothing.
An 'Open Letter to the DuPage County GOP' Protesting Sen. Scott B
2011-01-21 17:13:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Here is an interesting note from Frank Napolitano of the DuPage Conservatives. Apparently, the DuPage Conservatives are none too happy that a mushy-middleman like Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown is coming to speak to the conservative heart of collar counties. I'd certainly agree with Mr. Napolitano that Scott Brown is in no way a conservative. I can't imagine anyone mistaking him as one, either. He's no more conservative than, say, oh, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney happens to be. I guess the main difference between Brown and Romney is that Brown admits to being a mushy-middleman whereas Romney is one, but won't admit it. But... well... back to the subject... Mr. Napolitano is wondering why Brown is...

For those who don?t know Jay-Z took shots at Hammer last month about his past financial woes. He did a song where he spit a verse about Hammer losing 30 million. This is while Jay-Z is reported to have brought an island or something like that. Hammer wasn?t feeling the slight and made his disapproval known via twitter with a promise to release a video reposnse on October 31st.A few things to consider..on one hand Hip Hop has always had the ?battle? element. Taking shots or responding to disses have long been a tried and true method of getting on. 5o Cent blew up doing this. KRS made his name early on coming after folks. Hammer himself came up taking shots at all sorts of folks explaining that Hip Hop was like sport. It?s t...

2010-10-13 06:44:00 It's 2010. The day of crying over guys has come and gone. Aside from it stressing you out & bringing about gray hairs and premature crows feet, it's also demeaning. My dating tips might not work for everybody, but they work for me. And I can't remember the last time I cried over a dude.

But, here is what I do know, based purely on observation.And, consideri-ng that you seem to be racking up the legal fees, you might want to take some free advice. 1. Your parents are the pits. Neither of them can get through an interview without pointing out how the other one comes up short in the parenting department. Now, your Nana? She's too cute.

An open letter to my dear Snooki, from one Italian girl to another
2010-09-18 21:22:00 Dear Snooki:I never thought I'd say this but you said something in an interview this week that reminded me of, ahem, me. Before you get defensive, read here on how I feel about you and your fellow Jersey Shore folk. I actually like you. I really do. What you said was that you want to marry someone whose last name ends in a vowel. HA!! I love it! I used to say the exact same thing. I'm 100% Italian American and I always assumed I would marry another Italian. And, I did what you do when you're snookin for love. I dated my fair share of Italian men. But, if the way to make G0d laugh is to have a...

Open letter to the woman who threw a cat in the garbage
2010-08-26 03:07:00 Have you heard about the British woman who threw a neighbor's cat in the garbage? He was stuck in there for 15 hours. She was identified from video surveillance and her response to the outrage was "It's just a cat." To be fair, she apologized again after that comment but the damage was already done. Dear Ms. Bale: Please mail me those glasses you're wearing. I'm going to throw them in the garbage. What? (insert shoulder shrug) They're just glasses. And, this way, you won't be able to see any cats who cross your path, which will spare countless felines from being trapped in garbage cans. So, everyone wins!

Open Letter To Mayor Daley, Senator Durbin On Proper Appeal To Federal Gove
2010-07-29 22:36:00 Dear Mayor Daley and Senator Durbin: It is disturbing to hear current appeals to the federal government and FBI with regard to solutions to the dangerous rise in Chicago crime in urban neighborhoods when people like myself, Wallace "Gator" Bradley and others have been reaching out as grassroots activists with over 60 years of cobined experience from working in the streets and offering grassroots suggestions that continually fall on deaf ears. And Senator Durbin, you made a mistatement in your testimony before the FBI seeking help by saying "all that could have been done, has been done," when you have not met with grassroots leaders like myself to hear what we have found as solutions at the grassroots level.

2010-05-20 23:05:00 Dear Milton, Now that Cub Nation and the rest of the world has had time to really let your all too long stay in Chicago sink in. Every good sound argument is made when time is given to reflect upon the happenings in question. Before we dig into some of your more current bone headed moves, lets take a look back:Acquired by the Indians in 2000 you only lasted one year there, a theme that would be consistent through your career. The year after you were traded to the Indians and got into an argument with then Indians manager Eric Wedge then shipped to the Dodgers, there, you got into an altercation with a fan in right field and took...

It's hard to believe that nearly a full year has gone by and we're still only in your first season, or whatever passes for a season on television these days. But enough small talk. I'm making like a patient on Grey's Anatomy right now, and hitting you with the cold, hard truth. You are in trouble. Real trouble. Oh sure, the ratings for Tuesday night's episode were solid, you've got a promising Madonna-themed episode next week, and golden boy Neal Patrick Harris is set to guest sometime soon. On the surface, things look peachy keen. But ever since your stellar pilot, I've seen a gradual decline in quality and Tuesday's episode shows that you haven't learned anything...

Hayes, GOP nominee for Congress in IL-2, in response to Jr.'s "moment of truth" on news radio WLS 890am. Yesterday morning, Mr. Congressman, you told Dan Proft and Bruce Wolf, who were guest-hosting the Don Wade and Roma Show on WLS, "There's probably going to have to be a significant reform of other social programs as the Federal Government assumes more responsibility for health care for the nation's people, there are other social programs that are probably going to undermine some elements of social cohesion, there's no doubt about that." It appears, sir, that you just can't tell the truth....

Its never completely over until something really ugly happens. Hopefully my friendly advice will help you stop acting like psychos and actually think.

Inner Ignoring of ?Warning Flags? Prior To Dissent From A Sect
2009-10-28 22:12:00 There is an ignoring, while one is still a member a questionable group, of what apostates, looking back on their process, have called 'warning flags'. The rationalising and psychological denial factors loom, but not so large as to cause deeper questioning and leave-taking. These are phenomena widely encountered in the reports of dissenters from sects. I have written of this aspect in an article, where I wrote: "Since leaving Sathya Sai Baba in October 1999, I have counted around 10 major ?flags? that I myself ignored. The realization of most of these resistances only occurred over time. Coming out of the spell?s grip is a painful, arduous process". See: A Cult?s Powerful Grip.

An Open Letter to Adewale Ogunleye: Take It Easy on Browns
2009-10-26 13:48:00 Dear Adewale, I'm writing to you to ask if maybe, perhaps, possibly you could take it easy on the Cleveland Browns in your upcoming game this Sunday. I know that for an athlete with a hyperactive competitive drive, this is pretty much asking the impossible. I know this because I, too, am an athlete. I played high school basketball for Mount Vernon High School in Mount Vernon, Ohio, where one season I nearly averaged a triple-single. I ask that you kindly take it easy on my Browns because we are not very good this year. Our only win has come via a 6-3 snoozer against the Buffalo Bills that I'm pretty sure put fans of both teams to sleep,...

Like the late Jack Falla, I don't believe there's such a thing as a bad day at the rink, and last week, being welcomed and so helpfully assisted by you as I was, well reminded me of why this was so. This was easily the largest Capitals' training camp in its number of skaters that I'd ever covered, and you have 70 quality human being hockey players who wore your crest last week. I talked to almost every one of them. In the middle of my vacation at the rink I thought about those middle-aged men who fork over vast sums of money to participate in pro sports fantasy camps, for limited access to their ballfield heroes.

An Open Letter to the Fruit Company That Ruined Breakfast
2009-09-21 00:22:00 Usually when people are unemployed for months at a time, they start to dream up get-rich-quick schemes. Hence, the alarming success of Nigerian presidents ready to wire money to your checking account TODAY. The thing is - I'm the only person alive who seems to come up with get-rich-slowly schemes. It started in high school when I decided I would devote my life to becoming the jerk who waves in the backgrounds of other people's home movies. My thought was that with enough time and effort, I would become rich and famous as, the world over, friends shared their home videos and noticed me waving from Peru, Disney World and their daughter's play."Gee, Sally, that's funny. I think that same girl waving behind...
