KDH editorial silliness

I read the Killeen Daily Herald editorial page every day, even though it is consistently disappointing and usually disgusting.  I look forward to Saturdays because that's when the paper deigns to print Letters to the Editor.

So let's look at what is on today's page A4:

There are two "editorials" (really syndicated articles from a wire service).  What could be more relevant to the people of Killeen than

• A rant on the Essential Air Service program, which affects no city within 500 miles of us, and
• Some opinions about how many people should be allowed to climb Mount Everest?

I'm guessing these "editorials" are chosen to fit the space available, automatically, with no human intervention. 

There are three Letters to the Editor:

• A thank-you from the American Veterans Travelling Tribute to the Phantom Warrior Week planning committee.  That was nice.  Organizations that make an impact should be recognized and should recognize those who help them succeed.
• Pete Stanonik's opinion that TAMUCT is spending too much money on landscaping.
• An unparsable screed from Joe Brown that seems to accuse a letter-writer whose opinion he objects to of being a heretic or a welfare mother or something.

And then there's "Last week's Poll Question", which was "Do you plan to vote on May 29?".  72.7% said "yes".  The actual percentage of registered voters who cast ballots will be about 5%.  That speaks well for the people who responded, but not for the poll itself.

So KDH: can we expect your editorial page ever to deal with real city issues?  Or is it always going to be the object of derision it is today?
