practice selective censorship

I loved this write-in from Don in Pekin - Liberals like to practice selective censorship. It basically says that for four years they have been listening to liberals cry about Bush. The Libs are defended by free speech. Then when Kerry went against Bush, the Libs cried foul when the Cons played dirty politics.
Wow, Don, were you born four years ago? I've been alive longer than four years and I seem to remember that this is Politics as Usual. Both parties do it. If you are going to concern yourself with the party rather than the issue, then you are going to be blinded by the slogan "we are better". Please, put down the pen, and stop teaching children to be stupid.

Ava from Washington writes in to lambaste J. Klein's intelligent design theory article.
First off, she wants an explanation why a columnist isn't committed to the truth even when it isn't to thier liking. At the top of the page it is written in, however, it reads, (in the biggest letters of the page and at top), OPINION.
She says, "Evolution is not just a theory but an explanation that has been confirmed by observation and experiments that knowledgeable experts accept as fact."
I believe that evolution is a much better explanation to what is rather than intelligent design. Actually, I think that intelligent design was designed to explain nothing. However, who observed Evolution? What are these confirmed experiments that (it must be all experts to be a fact) knowledgeable experts accept as fact.

Hypocrisy: Republicans eleven years ago made a rule that when a leader of a faction, such as a chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, is indicted, that he should step down from the post. This rule has worked in thier favor before. Now, they want to change their rule to allow House Majority Leader Tom Delay to keep his post. Even he concedes that Rep.s changed the rules so that Dem.s cannot "use our rules against us".
