[ale] OT: Response to the State of the Union

[ChangingLINKS.com]

I have to agree with Ben here. Don't want to restart this thread either, but 
Mr. Fowler your letter had grammatical errors, used the "t" word, and sounded 
like a very pissed off right-wing conspiracy theorist.

Your opinion is usually stated with more "class." Based on it's wording - it 
is the worst thing I have seen you write - and I am wondering if you actually 
typed it.
