p>Forget “Ben Stein’s Money,” just keep the incredible political insight coming! br> — Jim Bjaloncik br> Stow, Ohio /p>Ben, I read you, I admire you, I love ya. But that piece is your weakest I can recall reading. Your intelligence, perception, and wit just weren’t well served. It read like something you just fired off when irritated and went off half cocked. It struck me as the political commentary equivalent of Rod McKuen poetry.
p>Everything you wrote is indeed true, but sometimes, Ben, you gotta hunker down and get mean. That’s it! You sounded like you were whining. Take Jed Babbin’s lead and just nail’em to the canvas once in a while. Don’t hold back. Drop the hammer. br> —
