I think I have figured out what the new member, lovejoy, is trying to say. She is talking about Stan Welch, reporter for the Williamston Journal. Are we getting warmer lovejoy? It's OK to express your feelings, we wont fuss at you.

Don't lie to her, she might get fussed at, personally insulted, attacked, slandered and libeled as well as fussed at.

from Ann Coulter's column this week:
"This week, Barack Obama's challenge is to select a running mate who's young, hip, and whose accomplishments in life don't overshadow Obama's. Allow me to suggest Kevin Federline."

Last time I noticed, Freedom of the Press was still part of our national heritage. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion" (the Establishment Clause) or that prohibit the free exercise of religion (the Free Exercise Clause), laws that infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to peaceably assemble, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
You may not like Stan Welch's columns or Nick Charalambous's. But they should remain free to state their viewpoints. As long as their editors and publishers feel it is worth saying, so be it. That is letting the free market work.

lovejoy, from what I've seen of the Journal, Stan Welch writes a good bit of it each week. Could you offer any specific stories you have a problem with, or is he just a completely biased and incompetent reporter and columnist? Or did he just piss you off for some reason?

You've got that right, Jane. I don't see how lovejoy calls his writing slanted. From whatI can see his Seems to me column goes after somebody different every week. And the Journal ran a letter to the editor in this week's issue that called Welch all kinds of names and stuff. Seems like pretty fair coverage to me. Come to think of it, lovejoy, was that you that wrote that letter, or is this just another Amy persona floating to the top? As far as Welch being a muckraker, I live in the williamston area and there's lots of muckto rake over here.
If he only touched one, he's being gentle.-janedoe

It does sound kind of personal, doesn't it? Wonder if it's about the Amy Plummer/railroad/ethanol facility story in this week's issue? Or the column last week that ripped three Councilmen for hiring a local banker with no experience as town administrator just because they think they can control her and use her against the mayor? Or would it be the two earlier stories on the ethanol situation which revelaed that this highly flammable fuel is being transported and stored in the town and in the outlying areas even though there is no means of fighting a fire if one broke out? Or could it be, ah hell, you're right LJ. He is a muck raker. And apparently a pretty fair one. But if you want to see him take his lumps, buy an August 20 edition and read the letter to the editor that some women named Melissa Collins wrote about him. I don't know what he did to tick her off, but if I was him, I wouldn't eat any of her cooking without my dog ate some first. Know what I mean?

Well, Queen, as you know the Second Amendment guarantees all the others.

Yes and a court of law can protect from people misquoting and defaming as well. Assuming that Anderson has one that actually serves as it should.
