"Did you ever study writing in the English language?"

I'm normally not in the business of reprinting hate mail, but this reaction, by Kip Durocher, to my CNN.com government-waste column of this morning, was too delicious not to share:

The last thing we need is incessant prattle from a ?pundit? like you. Did you finish middle  school? When I taught grade 7 decades ago I would have given your CNN piece an F. Did you ever study writing in the English language?
We do not need foaming mouth do nothing know all fools like you. Do the world a favor and eliminate your carbon foot print today.

In other reaction, a tipster named Clint sends this along:

You might want to amend your opinion piece on CNN.com about the muffin outrage. It did not happen.
