Submitted by Paul Nimmo. Never have had much time for conspiracy theories. Aliens amongst us, Elvis still alive and how can you really explain New Coke?

Letter: Simone Biles Drops Her Feather
Submitted by Aaron Arkin. In Walt Disney’s animated feature, “Dumbo”, a baby circus elephant with unusually large ears becomes the subject of ridicule and is separated from his mother. The very name, “Dumbo” suggests someone with no voice or agency. But he is discovered by the local crows to be able to use his huge […]
Letter: Reflections of and Old White Guy
Submitted by Blake Surina. I look like an old white guy. Or worse. As one friend described me to a human resources representative seeking a reference, “I confirmed for her that you were a ginormous man with a patched eye and grizzled hooked arm.

Letter: These Critics Don’t Count

Letter: Counting Down to Victory! 10 . . .
Ten days from now the people will decide who will survive the Primary for Clover Park School District Directors. Have I worked hard enough? Does my message resonate with those who will make the decision? Two-thousand, three-hundred and six doorsteps I’ve been on to-date in this my campaign to be elected. As I continue on […]
Letter: School Board Race Disinformation
Submitted by Don Anderson. You might expect me to react like Harry Truman when a couple of misogynistic septuagenarian retired majors who’s careers peaked 40 years ago orchestrate a vicious disinformation campaign against my daughter Alyssa Anderson Pearson who is running for re-election to the Clover Park School Board. Unlike Truman, I won’t draw attention […]
