SLEUTH, PSYCHO . . . SAVIOR?
Well, well, well. How dare you be such a kind, forgiving human being [Jenny Stockdale’s “From Sleuth to Psycho,” May 7]?  Who do you think you are? Jesus? Do you fish?

NOT SO GREAT FOR OUR SELF-ESTEEM
The Citizen Journalist Quote of the Day [Miles Clements’ “War of Words,” April 30]: [...]

This Week: Pale Ale, Tyranny and Propoganda (sic)
BEER GOOD
Cheers to the new feature! [Julian Shrago’s “Beer of the Month,” April 16]. It was refreshing to read a straightforward and knowledgeable take on beer, forgetting all this talk about “beer as the next wine.” Beer is beer—and it’s good. India Pale Ales are my favorite [...]

This Week: Darth Vader, Red-State Kansas and Whistleblowers
GREASE IS THE WORD
Can Long Beach actually function without its cronyism [Dave Wielenga’s “All Pook’d Out,” April 23]? Can we put the best interests of the city first, over greasing a few “well-connected”? Maybe we can aim to achieve something great instead of falling for anything and [...]

This Week: Ten Ton, Scary Spice and Trader Joe’s
SEXY BEASTS!
Your cover boys [Jennie Warren’s photo of Crystal Antlers for “Trust and Love,” April 16] are some sexy beasts!

Does anybody else out there miss the record store Ten Ton? Once located on Broadway at Temple, then housed on Fourth before it was Retro [...]

RACY PROFESSOR
The race riots at Jordan High and other schools in the last few years simply underscore MacDonald’s premise [Will Swaim’s “Where’s the Heroic Defender of the White Race?” April 9]. When push comes to shove, race matters. It always has and always will, no matter how many liberals who live away from the [...]

This Week: P-T, P-T and more P-T
Marvelous story, Dave [Dave Wielenga’s “‘Dad Roasts Devil Tot’: Remembering When the Press-Telegram Was the Most Important Paper in Town,” April 2]. I enjoyed it as much for the writing as I did the content. Your insight, your thoughts on the industry—couldn’t agree with them more. The P-T could [...]

“And what a wonderful parking lot it will be . . . (sigh)”
DOIN’ WHAT COMES NATURAL
As a member of Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust, I was truly moved by Dave Wielenga’s “With Hope as Strong as Certainty” [March 26]. Most people hurriedly drive by those pristine acres without a glance either right or left. For [...]

“Now tell me again how your war on fecal coliforms is going”
DOOM ME AGAIN, HARDER
Wow, your March 19 cover [the monochromatic once-and-future Armageddon designed by Matt Frazier and Heather Swaim for Megan Brescini’s “When It Comes” earthquake story] was the best ever. Keep up the good work.

SEX OFFENDED
When it comes to laws that involve sex offenders, the passions of the majority must be tempered with reason [Theo Douglas’ “Interview With a Rapist,” March 12]. Overborne by a mob mentality for justice, officials at every level of government are enacting laws that effectively exile convicted sex offenders from their midst with little [...]

“Yes, it makes the mind weary some days—but why do you think they call it work?”
CAN’T SPELL “PITY” WITHOUT “P-T”
There’s so much coverage now about the most recent cuts at the Press-Telegram [Dave Wielenga’s “What’s the Story with the Press-Telegram?” March 5]. Where was all this attention last year when they let go of their [...]
