Subject: I sit here saddened and shocked!

Dear Paul,

I sit here shocked and saddened. I have started reading my monthly issue of
Middle American News, which has not put me in a better, nor bitter, mood, too. I your Governor Brashear’s pain and could complain; as our local politicians are worried and bitchin' about the diminishing disappearing old blue-collar big-dollar tax base around this place...except out at the base [WPAFB] and the Dayton Welfare State. The HORROR! Our [Ohio] Governor Strickland may have to cut 3,000 state jobs in Hickland! No worry, the base is gonna create and make a 1,000 more, according to the Pentagon-PAC media whores. MAN stories with facts, figures, stories and statistics relate to this unfortunate reality; while we read and see and hear New York Times and Dayton Daily Snooze and corporate C-SPAN and DC beltway experts babble like cattle about glorious globalism and free trade and foreign aid, corporate communism once being an unheard oxy moronic term. And no local fag or hag rag will print the opinions of someone who has seen this for the past 40 years, here. I am sorry that I cannot deliver those old blue-collar tourists to you. Too many of them are supporting grown children and their grandchildren now, they and the unemployed and dumb having no disposable income, much like these recent retirees. You may print this to fill up some empty East Kentucky Magazine space, if you choose to, a bit of our literary legacy for our
descendants and future 22nd century readers. I just read the Buckhorn Resort
Encampment notice, printed in this latest issue of the Civil War Courier, as it arrived earlier today. I shall now get up and dispose of those brochure copies, save the colorful one that I have saved within my 2008 Reenactment binder, as a reminder. Yeah, retail sales and services, gambling and tourism, will make up for those three-million gone industrial jobs, lost under the free-trading Bushmen and their global-baloney friends and conspirators. Cheap, cheap, cheap, we gotta compete. Why whine, besides, Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan don't act, look or sound good on our TV screens, if ya know what I mean. Regards, regrets and best wishes to all. Thank God and government for lotteries...which are cheaper and easier than Harvard and Yale, and they never fail.

Sincerely Yours,

Leon Harrison
West Carrollton, Ohio

Capt. Harrison,

Our new [Kentucky] Governor Democrat Stephen Brashear, has just axed our Civil War Encampment at Buckhorn Lake State Park. He has cut, cut, and is still cutting and is going to tax, tax, tax in typical Democrat Fashion. He is creating a GREAT FISCAL CRISIS as a part of his GRANDIOSE PLAN to bring Wholesale Casino Gambling to Kentucky. That old definition of the Democrat Party yet holds: The Democrat Party is like a condom: Halts Production, Supports Inflation and Gives a false sense of Security while a bunch of Pricks are being screwed. Pass the sad news on to our friends in Ohio. I shall come to Grove City unless something unexpected should develop.
