This Pitts is the pits

Sat., Jan. 28, 2012

Regarding Leonard Pitts Jr.: Just let me say that the man has only one topic: racial bias. Discrimination in all its forms seems to consume his entire outlook on life. I feel sorry for him.

However, if you must continually publish articles by a Pitts, at least make it Earl Pitts (pseudonym for a radio personality) or Lee Pitts (columnist on farm issues) some of the time.

Then at least we could read about more than one topic and it would be humorous. It’s important that we laugh at our own foibles now and then.
