Smart guy writes intelligent, reflective letter to the editor

When we last left our local periodical, the Herald Journal was taking nominations for a Resident of the Year award, and the good people of Logan, America were using the opportunity to nominate their child’s dance instructor. Earlier this week, the HJ’s Letters to the Editor section provided a bully pulpit for a missive...

Unconventional Wisdom: See ya never

Ed Note, Caines penned his last column for The Utah Statesman on Monday. Man, Fuck that guy. There is a line from a song by the rock group Night Ranger I love that simply states, “I was never much good at goodbye.” So true. True that you aren’t good at goodbye? It’s amazing that Night Ranger...

Unconventional Wisdom – Harry the Philosopher

Unconventional Wisdom – Harry the Philosopher

If a philosophy department is eliminated from a college and no one raises a voice in protest, did it ever actually exist? Nope. But I’d wager they’d write self-impressed diatribes espousing the virtues and necessity of philosophy. Shhh. If you’re quiet, you can actually hear the sound of Provost Raymond Coward getting an idea. There have been many departments...

Unconventional Wisdom: Gee, thanks for the shout-out

A doozy from Caines this Monday. We still don’t hate Caines, we just think his column is a giant waste of space. Usual rules apply, if you have a class with Harry, don’t make fun of him for showing up/not showing up/crying the whole time in the comments, because we’ll just delete it. On...

Unconventional Wisdom: The one where Harry gets scooped

Unconventional Wisdom: The one where Harry gets scooped

Listen folks, before we start this week, lets start by saying we don’t hate Harry Caines. We don’t. Call it good natured ribbing of an old chum. So leave the ‘fuck Harry Caines’ comments alone and spend that time planting a tree or getting something straight (or up and slightly to the left) between...

More letters to the editor of the Herald Journal, interspersed with clever commentary

To The Editor: Role models for our children, ha! Great players yes, Jordan Farmar, mmm, not so much, but anyway, but role models for our children is hardly what I would use to describe some of these NBA players! …Since someone asked? I will even go as far as to say role models for adults, hardly! If you’re an adult...

Ripping on people who write letters to the Herald Journal

The following letters are real. They are culled from the opinion page of the Herald Journal, and are written by the actual residents of Logan Utah, USA. To the editor: I have been following the Sara Palin vs. David Letterman feud since it began. Good for you, what are you, president of the extraneous history club? We...
