Today's Dear Abby: "WOMAN RESPONDS TO RIDICULE BY PUTTING BULLY IN HER PLACE"

I definitely agree with Dear Abby today. Bullies are good at making other people feel bad, and they're good at making those people feel guilty for not putting up with it with grace and good humor. They're good at passing off abuse as harmless fun. And as this letter shows, they don't always grow out of it when they grow up.

Meanwhile, here's a completely insane letter to the editor: scroll down this page and look for "BUSH DESERVES APPRECIATION" by Wayne Elkins of Temple. What I'm wondering is, is this guy just a brainwashed voter, or is he actually a shill for the Republicans?
