we strive to become the best welcome center in
the state of Georgia. You'll find me in the office
behind the house and you are always welcome.

REGULAR GUY
I may be the only white male Christian non-
Democrat/ non-liberal/ non-pacifist/ non-hippie/
non-crybaby that reads your magazine, but dog
gone it, I just can't put it down! You crazy kids
really know how to stick it to us regular people,
don't you? Maybe I should rethink my position,
grow a beard and a ponytail, wear sandals all the
time, and protest everything! Name withheld so I
don't get demonstrated against.

IN RE: COULTER. REED
In response to a couple of letters in this
week's [July 19] issue... to Dave Register: Yeah,
I know he's a COMEDIAN. I have most of his re
corded material, including some great bootlegs.
If you want to trade or something look me up.
Otherwise, let's just say that I agree with you
that Bill Hicks is a comedian where Ann Coulter
is not, but at no point did I ever say Ann Coulter
was funny. Also, why is it that Hicks championed
originality while a group of his devotees like
to try to copy his style? ("Vampire Eva Braun
neocon wet dream" comes to mind.) Dave, this
country would never go anywhere without a good
argument, so thanks. Keep reading, writing, lis
tening, etc.
To Matthew R. Collins: Ralph Reed didn't
win. Give me one good reason (other than state
interference in church matters) to NOT let gays
get married. Republicans are just as hypocritical -
as Democrats—they both slobbered over the USA
Patriot Act while the Republicans were calling for
less government. And quit listening to Limbaugh.

THANKS
You've given me another reason to miss
Athens. As if the music and ambience weren't
enough, a random reading of my old favorite pub
lication leaves me even more wistful for my days
as a student resident. Thanks for speaking out
against the bipartisan politics of hate and fear.

WHAT MANNER TOFU?
So I have read with great interest the grow
ing Tofu Baby debate and I think that the time
has come for far more drastic measures. Dreadful
measures. Though on the surface this comic may
appear innocuous, twee and sweet, it invades
my very soul, hungry for raw, rancid meat, feed
ing lustily on my dreams and ambitions. I know
I should like it... or at least, shouldn't hate it.
But I do. There. I admit it. I DO, I DO, I DO. We
should combat Tofu Baby with rigid and cruel
totalitarianism. Arm bands with "Tofu Baby" X-ed
out. Large amounts of flyers reading "Ban Tofu
Baby." Tofu humiliation. Oper tofu mockery. Tofu
mutilation. I mean we're talking a few bucks,
here, tops. Of course, with every successful blow
to the heart of Tofu Baby. I cannot help thinking
that Tofu Baby will be there, ready to take all we
can give it. Resilient. Courageous even. No mat
ter how I stab at thee. Tofu Baby, you return that
same gentle smile! What manner of Tofu is this,
that eats at mine own soul? What Tofu is this,
that feeds on my dreams?
