MailBag

I'd like to talk about a special little corner of this world where all the crazies convene.  Not ax murderer crazy, but the kind of crazy I love. It's the Reborn-toting, cat wig buying, squirrel-dressing loonies.  (Please definitely click on the first link - sound on..........CREEPY TOWN CENTRAL, USA)

This place, my friends, is People Magazine MailBag.  Do yourself a favor next time you're in the doctor's office and flip straight to the MailBag and enjoy.   It never fails to entertain, baffle, and lead you to question how people let their lives go this far.  

I have included examples from a recent People mag.  The letters to the editor (MailBag) were regarding the cover story of a previous issue on Captain Chelsy "Sully" Sullenberger who landed the plane in the Hudson.  

"Your story about the "Miracle on the Hudson" was certainly one of your all-time best.  The heroic actions of everyone involved touched the lives of people everywhere.  I think perhaps a little part of us all landed in the river that day."  -- Nanci Rice, Boca Raton, Fla. 

"I am so happy you put Capt. Chelsy "Sully" Sullenberger III on your cover.  As a longtime subscriber I found it very refreshing to read such a moving and positive story.  The tremendous skill of this incredible pilot made him a hero on  Jan. 15, but his grace and humility after being thrust into the media spotlight are what make him a true class act"  -- Susan Keyser, Tampa, Fla.

"What an uplifting story!  To see Capt. Sullenberger holding that beautiful child brought tears to my eyes" -- Elaine A. Hall via email (but I'm willing to bet she's from Florida)

"Forget about your "Sexiest Man Alive" issue.  Your cover photo of Capt. Sullenberger and little Damian Sosa was the first time I've had the urge to hug your magazine.  And hug it tight I did"  --Tracy Eklof, via email.  

I hope to include more MailBag examples in future posts.
