The Olympian: it's ok to say any stuipd shit in an LTE

Dumbest Olympian LTE evah.

SHERRY EDWARDS; Olympia

Over the recent Memorial Day weekend, my family and I had the privilege of driving through Lacey and Tumwater. Both cities proudly displayed our American flags from light posts throughout the cities.

Then to our dismay when we traveled through our own capital city, we found no such honor.

Could we please trade our rainbow flags for the good old American flag at least for Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day?

I expect a little more from our Olympia.

City of Olympia, please invest some of our tax dollars in American flags and thank you for your consideration.

Except Ms. Edwards is wrong, so fundamentally wrong it should have set off the crap detector of any sort of editor with frontal lobes. There were American flags flying from every light pole on Capitol Way from the Capitol Campus to the Farmer's market. A quick call to Olympia public works would have confirmed the fact that Ms. Edwards is so full of shit her eyes are brown. But no, the Olympian ran this POS for reasons I speculate had to do with creating controversy to drive traffic to their on-line product.

The ensuing thread was Seinfeldian in that since the LTE was delusional and in the end about nothing, the comments reflected the same qualities. After an opening salvo of Liberal bating homophobia, glenn turned his negligible talents to Anthony Wiener and the Usual Wingers gleefully burbled on about Congressional underpants until the thread was shut down.

So I ask, if a modicum of reality is not necessary for an LTE, what can we expect in the future? Cure for cancer found in artesian well water. Olympian newspaper coven of baby eating Satanists. Tammy McGee a space alien?

Indeed a shameful day for a paper's apparently shameless editorial staff.
