Quayle remains out of touch
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Your Sept. 11 edition features a letter from Brian Kauffman, who accuses the Kansan of, among other things, "bash[ing] Dan Quayle and mainstream America for their views."
I infer from this that Mr. Kauffman is asserting that the views of Mr. Quayle and those of mainstream America are one and the same.
If this is so—and God help us all if it is—I must ask why the television program "Murphy Brown" remains so popular.
Surely one would expect the nation by now would have switched off its televisions, or at least changed channels, in a fit of mass outrage at the tide character its insufficient moral and ethical standing is ousted by Mr. Kauffman truly exists.
But this has not happened.
I remain hopeful that the nasty, self-righteous outlook currently adopted by the Republican Party is far more out of touch with the beliefs of most Americans than the so-called cultural elite upon whom Mr. Quayle and his admirers are fond of placing the blame for their inability to get themselves taken seriously.
I mourn for the future of this country
if I turn out to be mistaken.

Elvis is dead and irrelevant
The beauty of purchasing a newspaper is that if it lacks quality, you can switch newspapers. Unfortunately, at the University of Kansas we do not have that option. Included in our campus fees is our "subscription" to the University Daily Kansan.
The recent column by Kate Kelly, entitled "Memphis: An Enigma of Illogical Thinking," just reinforces the fact that the University of Kansas student body is held captive by poor journalism.
We have no way of getting a refund for this description" to the University Daily Post.
Therefore, in the future, please print articles that have at least a tiny bit of relevance to our universe.
Also, think of the poor trees that sacrificed themselves for the printing of newspapers in the 19th century.
Oy Kate, don't dis' the King—50 million people can't be taught.

There was an interesting contrast in style and appearance displayed on the Kansan opinion page Sept. 8.
Reader prefers Royko's writing
Grim-looking David Mitchell's "never mind" commentary seemed to be agonizing over the Vietnam War as he rationalized Bill Clinton's avoidance of military duty. Below, a smiling Mike Royko stood up for that class of elderly white males known as "dirty old men," a group with which I can identify.
Give me Royko every time!

Pat Robertson stirs capitalist
I was willing to go along with the Equal Rights Amendment until I read what Pat Robertson said in your "Quote of the Week" feature.
According to Robertson, the Equal Rights Amendment:
"I is about a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages
I'm glad Rev. Robertson set me straight. I can go along with witchcraft and even child murder, but when feminists attack capitalism, they've gone too far.
women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

Media is not entirely liberal
If anyone is worried about being bombed by the liberal media, then wake up, hit the remote and change government. In Rush Lambaugh and Pat Buchanan.
Don't whine about a GOP drop in the polls and blame it on the media. Just keep a perspective. There are plenty of partisan media types, including David Frankel, to go around.
