I was stunned. I read it again. Sure enough, there in the How Your U.S. Lawmaker Voted report put out by Roll Call to the media was a listing of the vote in the third week of May on the 2009 military budget. I had quickly scanned the first part. By a vote of 384-23, the House on Thursday authorized a $601 billion military budget for fiscal 2009, including $70 billion to fund war in Iraq and Afghanistan for part of the year.

Last week was the first meeting of The Marysville Globes Reader Advisory Board which was attended by some extremely enthusiastic people who offered some very good opinions as to what they would like to see in their community newspaper. Were looking forward to the same response at the first meeting of The Arlington Times RAB, scheduled for Feb. 22, beginning at 4 p.m.
While I rarely, if ever, write letters to the editor or respond to newspaper articles, I could not let your statement (in a recent column) slide by, writes a Whitman County resident who must be Egyptian, judging by the hieroglyphic used as a signature.
So much important stuff is happening in the world that news channels are actually gaining popularity at the expense of game shows, sit-coms and soaps. Were talking real-life drama where words trigger action and action starts wars.
