PUBLIC VIEWPOINT Thanks Due For Sudan Food Support

— Irecently returned from the Nuba Mountains in Sudan where I, with the support of many goodhearted people here in the U.S., was able to insert some five and a half tons of food to people who are in dire need due to the constant bombing of their villages and farms by the government of Sudan. It’s an area where an untold number of people are suffering malnutrition to severe malnutrition to outright starvation.

This eftort would not have inserted as much food as we did had it not been for the generosity of some incredible individuals and groups here in Fayetteville.

In light of that I wish to acknowledge them byname and to ofter a warm and hearty thank you to them for their kindness, thoughtfulness, and for truly being their brothers’ and sisters’ keepers: St.

Paul’s Episcopal Church, The Rev. Lowell Grisham, the Fayetteville Arkansas Quakers (Religious Society of Friends), the Omni Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology and Omni’s Gladys Tiftany. I also wish to recognize the generous support of Linda Shearer of Little Rock.

Finally, there are several others who are due thanks but since I’ve not heard back from them in regard to whether I can mention there names herein, I shall simply say: A huge thank you to the rest of the kind and generous folks whosupported this endeavor.

NEW HERO

It would seem our leftist

friends are clearing up new space for the newest member of the left’s Pantheon of Heroes.

Welcome aboard, Christopher Dorner!

Your 11-page leftist rant was truly a masterpiece, ranking right up there with the Unabomber’s. Granted your body count was not very impressive, only four corpses before “The Man” murdered you.

But we know you could have done more.

Don’t worry about your legacy, with the media and Hollywood at your side, we will turn you from murdering thug and into a soulful visionary and cult hero. Your face will grace items from T-shirts to coft ee mugs.

Movies and made-for-TV series will document your exploits both real and unreal. Lady Gaga will sing songs praising you and denouncing your foes.

Yes, rest easy, Christopher. Your quest for “justice” will be preserved and your murdering rampage sanitized from history. Just like we did with Che Guevara, Mao Tse-Tung and Stalin.
