Times-Union Editor Invites Commentary

From Gary Gerard, editor of the Times-Union:

Hi Terry,

The picture of the Grace debt clock in today's edition prompted me to drop you a line.

I have a website, dumbhoosier.com. It started out as a place to put my column and links to political websites, but it's grown. Now it has links to the top news stories of the day, a Daily Thought, a national debt ticker, a cost of war ticker, a Google search window, a comment box and an interactive poll question.

Plus -- and here's where your students might be interested -- it has a place where writers can submit opinion columns.

Just e-mail the column and a short bio and I will publish it on the website along with a comment box so others can chime in. All the info needed is on the website. Perhaps some of your students might be interested in having their opinions published online. Any issue is fair game, Grace, local, state, national, world, entertainment, whatever is on their minds. Just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks,
Gary
