Good letters to the editor today

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy

If you thought James Comey was a hero with respect to Hillary Clinton’s e-mails, and now think he’s a villain after President Donald Trump, you might be a hypocrite.
If you think Clinton needs to get over the election results, but like rallies where Republicans yell “lock her up,” you might be a hypocrite.
If you love the 2nd Amendment, but hate the 1st, you might just be a hypocrite.
If you think Clinton-Lewinsky was an abomination, but can look past Trump-Stormy, Trump-McDougal, you might be a hypocrite. 
The problem is, when I reverse these issues, I just can’t get past my complete disdain for President Trump. I might be a hypocrite.
Scott Oppenheimer, Denver

Science is not a belief-system. All societies make progress in their member’s well-being when they rely on understanding how things work and what things work. Science works because it’s anathema to belief.
One doesn’t “believe” in gravity, electricity, viruses, and people’s need for clean air, healthy food, and clean water.
The other side of the science coin is called knowledge.
Notice that failing countries have little respect for science and high dependence on religion.
Remember the Dark Ages when religion ruled? Remember the religious wars in Europe? When religion and politics intertwine, we’re doomed.
Denis R. Bourdeau, Littleton

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
