We are, of course, amazed that our readers occasionally disagree with our brilliant and witty essays. In fact, sometimes quite a few readers think that The Outrage editors are wrong, misanthropic, idiotic, selfish, deluded, or all of the above.

I was sent your newsletter by a friend and was amused in many ways. While the incidents were tragic I guess in these times of Presidential atrocities, Enron's blatant criminal shennigans and political terrorists actions by many of our political representatives that constituents suffer under daily. I could think of a few ways to rid us of all scraps and also would suggest them to read your Darwin Awards purpose. from the ridiculous to the sublime we really have bunch of professionals and leaders that are absoute nuts. President Bush's State of the Union Address, in my opinion, was absolute dribble and misguided idealistic delusion of granduer. Maybe that pretzel incident fall did more damage than originally thought. While we all are sadded by the tragic and terrorist deeds of misguided human beings that called lost of innocent lives. I want all to understand that we are still left behind to suffer our issues of daily living as the real terrorists walks among us. Loretta Renford of Buffalo, N.Y.
