Letter: Just be glad you have a job
I want to wish all the unions of America a very well-deserved congratulations for being the primary instrument in getting 18,000 Hostess employees laid off at Thanksgiving/Christmas time. So much joy will be had by those employees while the slimy union thugs sit back in their warm, cozy houses and experience a large dining room table filled with all sorts of food paid for by the dues of laid-off employees.

Robert Stauffer: The Benghazi Bazaar
There won't be a song about how our flag was still there, because it wasn't. Maybe stories of the battles that almost took place in Benghazi will come out soon.

Letters: Many truths
In our modern society, everyone knows. We all know the answers without a doubt. I've seen enough Christians blindly stand with Israel because that is what they are trained to do.

We all have an answer; no one can admit they do not know. I do ...

In response to "Some compromise could head off looming cliff," Nov. 11: If President Obama did all the things Walt Watson feels will rescue America from financial Armageddon - he would be President Romney. But he ain't, and rescue is unlikely.
Letter: School funding clarified
In trying to explain how school funding works, I chose a topic close to my heart: home economics. I like to eat, so much of my life revolves around cooking and eating.
Letter: Paid endorsement letters are in the wrong place
In response to Richard Myers' letter of Nov. 11, I agree that the Letters to the Editor section is not the correct place for "paid" political endorsements. My letter from Nov. 2 was mentioned as an example, being dubbed a "paid candidate endorsement" letter.
Letter: What can be done to help Sandy victims?

Regarding Alice Khosravy's column "California is at bottom for business," (Feb. 22), Khosravy's excellent commentary was so clear and so factual citing a huge - if not t-h-e huge - problem that is at the core of California being on life support as a state, a once-thriving, enviable state.
