Laura Ingraham nails it.

To the Editor:

I awoke on Saturday in an alternate universe, where the front page of one of the most respected newspapers in the world reported on candidates for the most powerful position in the world — Donald Trump and Marco Rubio—trading insults about urine and sweat. Mr. Trump crudely mocks anyone who crosses him with ad hominem attacks on that person’s intelligence or appearance.

It is conceivable that one of these men might one day have a finger on the nuclear button. What kind of future do we face when Americans allow, even celebrate, this appalling breakdown of civil discourse? I feel like a refugee in my own country.

Note from KBJ: How much do you want to bet that Fran Gardner wasn't the least bit troubled by Bill Clinton receiving fellatio in the Oval Office?

Quadrophenia (1973). Maybe the greatest album ever made.

Certain Republicans (e.g., Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse) are saying that they will not vote for Donald Trump if he is the Republican nominee. Do they not realize that Trump supporters say the same thing about their candidates? I will never vote for Marco Rubio or John Kasich, for example. Why does loyalty go only one way? The Republican establishment takes voters for granted. This year, we the people are choosing the nominee, and establishment Republicans act like children who don't get their way. Waaahhhhh!

Ha! There was no 29 February in 2006.

To the Editor:

That state and national politicians denounce education in the humanities and liberal arts as somehow being less worthy of taxpayer dollars is farcical. If state and education officials want to spend less on something and more on STEM education, then maybe they should be looking at state university athletic budgets and the many million-dollar stadiums across this country.

I think that a STEM education is emphatically important today. But it is not the only important education. Learning and studying the humanities is what makes us human. Shame on us as a society if we ever forget it.
