Rockwood: The Rockwood Mailbag.

The Rockwood Mailbag

Express yourself!

Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)

So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

		November 11, 2004 Even though I'm distinctly anti-Bush, I have to say that somebody went a lit-tle too far, although it reads like the hate mail writer was not the same person who took the original sign. Even so. Here's my question, though: Oklahoma has neighborhoods where the majority of people are Democrats? It's one of only three states where every single county voted Bush! --Robert
		Hmm... interesting, Robert. We suppose it is possible that there are two disgruntled neighbors. That's even funnier! And although much has been made about red-versus-blue states, the truth of the matter is that most of the country is sort of purplish. Cleveland County, Oklahoma, where Team Rockwood makes its base, did indeed go for Bush almost two-to-one, but our individual precinct was 62-38 Kerry. What can we say? We're in a weird part of town, but we like it here. Oh, and a note for all of you rabid anti-Bushies out there: Take a look at this map again. We understand that you're upset that your guy lost the election, but do you really think the way to set yourself up for a win in 2008 is to call all of these people idiots? We guarantee you that while you're looking at that map and wondering how all of those counties could be so dumb, the Republican National Committee is looking at that map and thinking that they're only five or six counties away from having a landslide in 2008. If the Democrats don't want to go the the way of the Whig party, they'd better change tactics.
		November 11, 2004 >We're pretty sure "theft" is a no-no (scroll to fourth letter) for both the left AND >right wings. Agreed...hard to see where this election brought out the best in anybody. There are folks in all camps whose definition of theft is, well, not Webster's lets say. A bit more self-defined. --Andrew Rawnsley
		Oh, we wouldn't say that nobody had a good election, but bright points certainly were rare.
		November 11, 2004 Well, I like reading the Mailbag, but apparently it's not allowed. As for last weeks link to hillary in '08 - can you even imagine that campaign? The far right hates her at least as much as the far left hated Bush. The swift boat vets/move on ads will look like child's play in comparison. I'll take one week into the primary before she is accused of a) witchcraft or b) lesbianism (not that there's anything wrong with that!) on national radio/tv. --Greg
		We'll stay officially neutral on Hillary for now, Greg. We will say, however, that the return of Hillary would also mean the return of Bill, and he's every cartoonist's dream.
		November 11, 2004 You realize, it would be pretty easy to figure out who ran over your sign. Just match the tire mark to the tires. It doesn't take Columbo... (unless of course the perp keeps the car in the garage.) At any rate, I would encourage you to never hide your political feelings. If your thin-skinned neighbor can't take it, too bad. I'm sick and tired of having to hide MY political affiliation just so that I don't get harassed. You shouldn't have to do so either. If it were me, I'd keep tweaking them... but then again, I'm both immature and definitely NOT a homeowner who has to care about neighbors. Hope all goes better. --John
		We suppose we could go all CSI on the whole situation, John, but we're kind of lazy, and that's really a lot of work for such a cheap sign. However, we'll keep that tire's DNA on file so that maybe we can look it up in the future.
		November 14, 2004 Hello all. James M- no more confusion we'll call my James M by his call sign, Monty. Now, to the Rockwood crew, thanks so much for the post and the kudos to our troops (scroll to second letter). Monty was delighted to see the post. Thanks again. --Donna Williford
		That's good to know, Donna. As a general rule, Team Rockwood likes to keep anyone with easy access to F-18s happy. We don't want to be the "accidental" recipient of any precision bombing training. On the other hand, if you know of any way to track people who steal political signs... Naahhhhh! Never mind.
		November 15, 2004 See, if I were Mitch, I'd wear the helmet because helmets are cool. And as far as being prepared...you never know when Kepler might decide to play God again, and it's good to have some sort of protection against anger from above. --Elizabeth
		We don't know if helmets would be enough to protect from lightning strikes, Elizabeth, but they certainly couldn't hurt.
