Sorry, kids. They're not interested in the great wisdom you were there to share. They were interested in the hot dogs. People, rich and poor, love free food.
Don't believe me? Try it again without the hot dogs. Your turnout might not be as robust.

Fabulous letter, Vince. I used to walk around Lake Alice several times every day, and I have yet to see these killer geese.
Let's not pretend Lake Alice would be Shangri La if the geese just magically disappeared. Come on.
Fergus is in such a rush to eliminate all things that make it different. Don't be in such a rush to fade into Generica.

Well said, Joel. You're completely right about this. Count the votes.

For everyone who said Obama was an Arab, muslim, socialist terrorist Hitler gay, let me be the first to offer an olive branch in the form of this:
Suck it. You lost. Don't like it? Planes leave America every day.
So sick of hearing that kind of crap from your ilk during the "dark times" -- what we'll someday call the Bush administration.

The editor is entitled to his opinions, but they're pretty superficial. I'd encourage others to consider factors other than ear size or media caricatures. You know, like the fact that our economy is crumbling. I'm not sure Donald Duck or Goofy have a plan to unwind credit default swaps.
The cheap shot at Jamie was a little much.

Come on. This guy shouldn't be running a concession stand, much less the city. Leland is a good choice, and so is Howland, but not Malas.
That's not to say he's probably not a good person with a good heart and a few problems he's working on. But maybe he should fix his personal life first, then seek the highest office in the city.

"What we need is Norm to go back to Washington and keep doing what he’s been doing for the past six years."
Yeah, things are going friggin swimmingly. Keep that stuff up.
Nice to know Norm is for fiscal restraint, like the bailout bill, which added 10% to the national debt in one week.

For the love of god, people, these are not "blogs." They're online comments. Just because you post here, it doesn't make you a "blogger."
This is a blog:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/
So is this:

And so is this:

Just because you write something here, it doesn't make you a "blogger." It's like you getting dial-up access to America Online and calling yourself a "hacker."

I agree with AmyO. What Hillcrest did is a positive act. I'll commend you for instilling an awareness of community and activism in the kids. That's good, no question about it.
My discomfort comes from the pairing of food, help, etc. with ideology. Whether it's inner city or Africa, giving food in exchange for (the hope of) religious conversion is a little unseemly. Maybe you're not making that explicit trade, but it's at least implied.
If I held a community Thanksgiving dinner, but required that everyone watch a program about evolution before they ate, you'd probably disagree with that.
I challenge you: if you want to help the poor -- if that's what God calls you to do -- do it without the message and let God do his own convincing.
