I was very disappointed in this morning's Journal Star editorial. Titled "Counseling for gay youths worth funding", I thought the LJS would take Robin Eschliman and Bob Workman to task for their boneheadedness. Instead, readers were handed an example of weak-kneed journalism that packed as much sting as a glob of Cool-Whip. I wasn't expecting an all-out assault, mind you, nor was one necessary. But if that's the best they could come up with, they should not have even bothered stirring up the masses again. At least I can still count on Neal Obermeyer to spice things up.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
“Experts say gay and lesbian youths are at risk for depression and suicide.”
You could remove the third, fourth, and fifth words in that sentence and it would still be true. Which goes to the point I made in the other thread.
I’m not sure what you expect from the LJS editorial board. If not well-written (and by well-written I mean style, not content), their editorials could be mistaken for the pouty ramblings of a 7th grader. Their arguments always have more holes than Patrick Roy in Game 7 of the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals. I try not to read them anymore, unless the headline grabs me.
...and the Obermeyer from yesterday is excellent!
