    Why doesn't he just write a letter to the editor?

    Guy should just walk round with the big "L" stamped on his forehead.

    Why didn't he just blog it?

    Cause he can clip out this "ad" and send it to a college. His $500 fee will result in a scholarship worth $200,000.

    If there is a God, he will ensure that you post a picture of this ad here. It might be the greatest thing since the Ernest Borgnine Youth Cream ads we used to run.

    I mentioned that to tennis mom. She said the ad would be more effective.

    Another sweet bit of irony ... she said there had been other parents saying her daughter was treated poorly because she attends a Christian school and we're a liberal newspaper. Shortly after I got off the phone with her, I learned our paper is endorsing McCain.

    had an administrator at local christian school call me and yell at me that i was single-handedly trying to kill christian sports in town through lack of coverage. i had been on the job less than two weeks and the only sport they were playing at the time was tennis where they had a kid advance to state tournament a month before i even joined the paper.

    Back in good ol' days ... when "tennis mom" was the first two words of a thread, the thread content was much, much different.
