"Cartoonist" Paul Coombs of Tribune Media Services owes an apology to the citizens of New Hampshire for the tasteless, offensive caricature that appeared in yesterday's edition of The Tampa Tribune. If it was meant to lampoon a candidate or a political party, it missed the mark and only serves to insult conscientious and patriotic Americans.

I often learn from such comments. For example, Randy Ludacer criticized a couple of items in my column. Mr. Ludacer's words of criticism were respectful and backed up with opinions of merit. I learned from Mr. Ludacer's insightful comments. I will not, however, permit anyone to slander my character without an appropriate response. ...more
