My latest letter to the editor:

Will my friends who get the Journal and the Daily Mail let me know if it is printed?

The investigation into the corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff has come home to our congressional district. Those of us who have followed Capito's campaigns know that she has strong ties to Abramoff’s pal Tom Delay and that it would just be a matter of time before her name was linked to the corruption scandal. It seems for now that she has sealed herself off from direct contact by blaming her chief of staff for using her name, but we in West Virginia know that when you lie down with the dogs you wake up with fleas. It is time the Eastern Panhandle woke up and cut her loose before she does too much damage to us real Americans by her continued promotion of corporate interest over our family values.
