SURFING STIFF
Re: Editor's Note, Kerry
On:
I'm a resident of San Diego's coastal community and must say I
find the mental picture of John Kerry surfing quite amusing. I
think the problem lies in his characterization; what I think he
didn't want us to know is that he's so stiff his friends simply
used him as their board.

NICE TRY
Re: George Neumayr's From
Stockman to DiIulio:
I read Mr. DiIulio's letter to Esquire and rather than
pining for a return of the Clinton years I believe he was lamenting
that the Bush administration is not the happy medium between the
Clintonistas and the current administration. The quotes you cite
were part of a long criticism of Clinton, that he and his gang were
all policy, no humanity in direct contrast to GWB, who, Mr. DiIulio
stated, has more feeling for the common man. Unfortunately for Mr.
DiIulio, he has provided juicy quotes that can easily be taken out
of context by liberals desperate for something to whine about. He
should have known better.

GUNS OF AUGUSTA
Re: John Corry's For
Women Only:
This action on the part of women against Augusta National has nothing to do with the game of golf. It has ONLY to do with the beating down of male bastions. They have succeeded in infiltrating the Boys (and Girls) Clubs, The Elks lodges, VMI and the Citadel, Boy's (and Girl's)Town and numerous other places where men were free to gather and discuss male subjects without interference from the weaker sex.
There are many women-only golf courses in the USA; try to get your son into Wellesley College or the Daughters of the American Revolution.
In short, this is another move on the part of the feminazis to make manhood irrelevant, and until this end is gained, the war will continue.
To the membership of the Augusta National Golf Club, stand fast,
don't be cowed into compromising your principles in the name of
diversity, or correctness, or whatever label will be attached in
the future.

It surely took Wyman a long time to find out that there were no
women members. Wasn't he a 25-30 year member? Wasn't he also the
big cheese at CBS (who has televised the Masters for decades).
Apparently clueless. Or gave up after repeated bruisings from the
"better half."

THE H-BOMB FACTOR
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Report
From the Promised Land:
What is never mentioned in discussions of the de-facto Middle Eastern war is that Israel possesses thermonuclear weapons -- that is, hydrogen bombs, not those weenie little A-bombs the U.S. used to end our war with Japan.
That fact, coupled with Israel's solemn pledge "Never again!," should give pause to the less irrational of Islamists.
Were Saddam or another sandy megalomaniac to attempt the destruction of Israel, Israeli H-bombs would rain on major Muslim cities throughout the region, possibly beginning with Mecca and Medina, which would be eradicated, possibly permanently.
The very possibility that this scenario could eventuate should
prompt Muslim leaders everywhere to restrain those attempting to
impose on Jews a more final solution.
