Keep up the good work.
-- Guido v. Hollande

I read your recent article on Ave Maria. I have to say that this is the sort of article that gives journalism a bad name. The article makes it clear that you have no idea what you are talking about.

I don't suspect that you are interested in learning the truth about what has happened here. If you are interested, ask the school to send you all the communications it has received from the ABA about the matters in question. The ABA keeps such matters confidential but the school is free to disclose those communications to you. I suspect that they will refuse to do so and you then ought to wonder why. If you saw those documents, you couldn't possibly have written the article you wrote.

I have a word of advice for you. I wouldn't bother to defend the actions of the people you praised in the article. Their actions have been scandalous and I don't think it is in your interest to defend them. I can only think that you don't really know what has happened here. If you did know, you wouldn't have written what you did. I don't think I'd defend their actions without knowing what has happened.

I don't have the time to detail in an email the history here. I would be happy to talk with you if you care to know that truth of what has happened here. Please feel free to contact me.

Please say a prayer for Mr. Monaghan and Mr. Dobranski, and also for all the people they have harmed.

Re: Jens F. Laurson & George F. Pieler's Zimbabwean Shame to Share:

Mr. Obama must go immediately to Russia, China and South Africa. He can elevate their moral plane merely by giving one or two of his "change" speeches.

Certainly Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid will agree to pass whatever ah, er, incentive, is required to bring these nasty nations on board.

For example, China needs oil. Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid could shepherd through their respective fiefdoms a bill outlawing the use of all petroleum products in the US. The prohibition could be delayed for a week so new technology would be available to replace oil. This is the time frame Senator Schumer speaks of. Thus America solves China's oil problem.

Those two intrepid leaders would certainly vote to give Russia our missile defense system and latest military technology. That, along with Obama's rhetorical abracadabra should resolve Russia' paranoia that someone is out to get them.

South Africa is easy. Instead of telling them he was raised in the Midwest -- actually it was Hawaii, but that is so far east he can be forgiven for thinking of it as west -- he could say he was raised in South Africa and "feels their pain."

We could give South Africans welfare and universal medical care in return for them saying Mugabe is not a nice person. Also since Chrysler is having such a bad time, Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid could contract with Chrysler to purchase one Chrysler car per South African per year for the next 10 years and pay in advance so Chrysler could be salvaged.

God Bless me! Democrats have a solution to every problem and every solution requires suffering by productive, working Americans. Nothing ever changes.
