Good. Maybe he'll sleaze over to the local alternate rag, the Fort Worth Weekly. They pay about $150 an article, which is about $150 too much for this jerk's ramblings).

OK you two; any thoughts on this??

IMO there's a telltale smell of something fishy, here.
Brings to mind an old saying.

YCT NEWS ADVISORY
Date: February 27, 2003

YCT State Chairman Chris Allen mused, "We were certainly startled to get this telegram from Mr. McLinden, a person whom we had perhaps naively regarded as an objective journalist devoid of blatant bias, asinine acerbity, and childish cantankerousness. After pulling our collective jaws off the floor, we initiated an internal investigation in response to Mr. McLinden's eloquent prose and must admit that he is correct on the subject of jackboots, as one of our state officers, Jack Long, proudly wears good'ol Texas cowboy boots."

YCT State Vice Chairman David Rushing quipped, "We are most appreciative that Mr. McLinden wisely did not fall pray to making sweeping generalizations or employing sanctimonious stereotypes about our membership because he realizes that sound journalism emphasizes facts and precision. Nevertheless, because of the grave seriousness of his concerns, we felt we owed it to him, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and the people of this state to conduct a full investigation. We have determined that none of our state or university chapter officers work at McDonald's, the vast majority are not members of a Greek organization, but an Aggie in our group does drive an old BMW that he will be glad to sell to Mr. McLinden for $11,000. In any case, we hope that this information will enable
Mr. McLinden to avoid losing any sleep at night."

Allen put this old-fashioned Texas tussle in perspective, "In light of the recent books by Ann Coulter and Bernard Goldberg that shocked the world by having the audacity to suggest there is liberal bias in the media, we are heartened that Mr. McLinden could with only a few masterful key strokes put all such wild conspiracy theories to rest. We will await with bated breath Mr. McLinden's apology to his venerable colleague Molly Ivins for stealing her thunder and overshadowing her brilliance when it comes to Pulitzer-quality screeds against all evil forces in the world that refuse to accept the holy orthodoxies of the left."

Pausing for a brief moment of seriousness, Allen pointed out, "Contrary to Mr. McLinden's statement that YCT supports establishing a one-party system, YCT is non-partisan and routinely endorses the few remaining conservative Democrats such as Congressman Ralph Hall and State Sen. Ken Armbrister. "

Allen pledged, "At our statewide convention this weekend in Austin, we will be sure to save a hot seat for Mr. McLinden, as well as a warm spot in our hearts."

The Young Conservatives of Texas, a non-partisan conservative youth organization, has been fighting for conservative values for more than two decades in the Lone Star State and publishes the most respected ratings of the Texas Legislature. Our legislative agenda for the 78th Texas Legislature is now available.

YCT has chapters at Texas A&M University, West Texas A&M, Baylor University, the University of Texas, Texas Tech, Southern Methodist University, Hardin-Simmons University, and in the Houston and Washington, DC areas.
