Duping Don
(Published in Alibi, November 26, 2007)
Those
of us who read your Letters section, even occasionally, know that Don
Schrader is near and dear to the editors of this fine weekly alternative
newspaper. Don, in all of his topless, practically bottomless, glory
entertains and educates us all. From the joys of puncture vine to the
joys of being punctured, Mr. Schrader likes doling out his opinion like
a dog likes digging holes. And the Alibi quite often allows him the
opportunity to stand high and tall. No problem. His prose is clean,
his themes, though hyper-left of center, are easy enough to swallow.
In short, Don is good for Albuquerque. Too much of a good thing, however, is bad. It is my hope that this letter will serve as a call-to-arms. Wake up all you organic vegetable eating, urine drinking, anti-corporate Americans. Are you going to let this one man do all of your talking? Surely, you too can enlighten us on a more expedient path to utopia.
