Astroturf "Healthy" Forest Act LTTE

This may be old news, but it (link below) was printed in the Co Spgs right-wing rag today.

My response:

Dear Gazette:

When I visit Co. Springs, I read the Gazette. Today, December 28, I read the Letters section as is my wont (the person I visit here asks me not to, but I can't resist).

I was startled to find a letter that was well-written. So well, in fact, that it seemed professional; almost like a press release.

That's because it was. Craig Miller went to all the compositional trouble of clicking on little green check marks at http://www.georgewbush.com/GetActive/WriteNewspapers.aspx?aid=102. To discover this, you need go through the difficult process of plugging "147,049 fires" into Google.

Most newspapers, of course, have policies against publishing ghost-written letters to the editor. Perhaps the Gazette has no such policy. That would not surprise me.

1. Interesting site. All talk and no details. You would almost

think Bush was doing a good job.

2. if they would make such a concerted effort to write LTEs ...

would they go to extreme efforts to commit arson?

I have to, at least, wonder.
