We would like to thank all our friends who sent cards or expressed sympathy for the loss of our son-in-law in Iraq. We feel for all the other families who have lost loved ones, as well as for the Iraqis whose lives have been shattered by this senseless war. We can only hope that the American population will gather the courage to stand up for what is right and insist on leaders who will behave like adults, not belligerent children. This war has already cost far more than we can afford.
Regarding “Takes planes to a different base,” (Letters, Whidbey News-Times, April 5).
It’s embarrassing to have an uneducated dog. People come over and want to see the dog do some tricks and it just sits there with a stupid grin on its face hoping for a Milkbone that it hasn’t done anything to earn.
What a sad day. I say sad when parents decide that they have a beef with volunteers who donate countless hours of their time.
Youth: Hey, old guy, what was it like before global warming? No matter what the weather these days, they blame it on global warming. Has it always been like this?
The Coupeville School District’s decision to turn down $8,216 for artwork at the new high school points out a glaring deficiency in Washington’s Art on Public Places program.
Hey, everyone, it’s the gardener again here. Was just glancing over the paper and noting how well the daffodils were coming up this spring in my yard when I noticed Ms. Kuenzi’s letter from Europe lamenting America’s “lack” of energy policy and the current bind it’s got us in with the high price of gas and all. Well, of course now we do have a policy on energy here in our great country. It’s kind of like your neighbor never going to church on Sunday and then telling you that “he doesn’t have a policy on church attendance.” Of course he does: He doesn’t go to church. Likewise, our policy is to not get our needed energy domestically where we have scads of it. Instead, we elect to get it from places outside the U.S. of A. that are politically and socially like the legs on Aunt Ethel’s old card table, with exception to our good friends north of our border. Sure doesn’t make much sense, does it.
