Tragedy & Comedy
I realize that Arcata has a sizable “hate Arkley, hate capitalism, hate the military, hate Bush, hate the flag” group, and the reason is obviously political. Although the NCJ is light-years to the left of center, this type of journalism should be reserved for Mad magazine and The National Enquirer.
Before printing, I hope in the future the Journal will be more critical of material that slanders an individual, in the guise of humor, because of their political persuasion.
Hoping your new year will be filled with the joys and rewards of Christianity and capitalism.
