At his invitation I re-read Jim Gries' letter twice with my reading glasses to make sure I didn't miss a punctuation mark which may have slanted my interpretation of his context. I still found it arrogant and insulting and pointedly left leaning. Picture this, Jim, me standing here with my right hand raised and my left hand on the Bible and my swearing that I haven't listened to Rush Limbaugh, Kieth Oberman or Chris Matthews once in the last six or seven years and I never even heard of "Local Bob" whoever he is. I confess I have watched the Sean Hannity TV show two or three times in the last five years, and you are right ... he is a screechingly repetitious bloviator, but amazingly, listening to him did not cause my gray matter to turn into a gelatinous blob and come oozing out of my cranial orifaces!

I don't care for the opinions of any of them; but I guess because you include Chris Mathews that makes your attitude fair and balanced. Neither do I really care much about who is on your list so much as I do that you have a list in the first place. ...more

TEMPLE TERRACE For 9-year-old Moises Garcia, the cold white stuff was a new experience. Standing in a rapidly melting, 20-ton pile of shaved-ice "snow," his two minutes on the mound was an adventure. "Ooh, it's cold! Look, my fingers are frozen!" said the Riverhills Elementary School pupil. "Next time, I'll bring mittens."
