Albert Lea Sucks.com

Finally some good reading.

Except that he only attacks letters from those on the far right. He'll print half a letter from people like Wayne Thorson, leaving out the off-the-wall parts.

Case in point, Wayne once wrote how Jane Fonda did great things for our veterans. Someone commented to that letter about how some of the things she was accused of in Vietnam were actually true (not all of them), and that that was not actually a great thing.

This guy only printed the comment and complained about how the right would always trot out Jane Fonda every time the left made a point—completely editing out the part where Wayne had been the one to bring up Jane Fonda in the first place.

He uses selective outrage about Albert Lea, ignoring that there are extremists on both sides. Some of his stuff is funny, but it's a little one-sided.

The guy is a leftist sheep of highest order.
He would be the first to gladly walk into a rail box container all for the glory of the state.

A bit brash, but then this forum is not all sugar & spice. It's the topics that are salt on the wounds:

Local's obssessions---greasy food, booze, sex crimes, isolationism, tawdriness, lack of imagination, gossip, hillbilly entertainment, blame games, and themselves.

Sounds familiar.

How discussions of local/national/international events are used as camo to cover personal vindictiveness.

Just as some use Slavemart as poster child for human abuse, so AL has been chosen(out of the glorious cultural desert towns & cities of the midwest)as poster child for civic dysfunction. One man's point of view.  And, as far as I know, he's not black. No need to panic.

His assessments of AL are less one-sided than some believe. A city wallowing in the past is not necessarily a political discussion. More like a "community consciousness"...or lack thereof. A Twilight Zone script.

We musn't blame the mirror for what we see.

At least AL proves that, in america, people are free to be what they want.

I agree that Albert Lea wallows in the past and has been in a state of arrested development (at best) for decades. In some ways Albert Lea does indeed suck, and there are postings on that blog that make me laugh. I bet he can't wait to read the Tribune everyday, because it seems there is always something he can use.

What I meant was one-sided was his posting of half a letter from Wayne Thorson, then attacking the follow-up comment for mentioning something in the half of Wayne's letter that he left out. It made the comment look out of context. If someone on the right did the same thing, he would not hesitate to call them out.

I'm not looking for fair and balanced—it's only a blog. I just think that it's somewhat deceiving. If he's going to criticize a comment made, he should at least print the whole letter.

He apparently doesn't like being mentioned on the forum. I wonder how he knew about the topic?

I check his blog out every couple of weeks, I think he should have named it The Mayberry Sun.

I saw that, too. Yet he scoffed at the Tribune when they asked him not to repost their articles, since it was a copyright violation.

I am guessing this guy is someone in his early- to mid-20s who was bullied in high school and is still bitter about it. Something happened to him here and he can't let go of it. Who else moves away from somewhere (supposedly) and then dedicates a blog to how much the place he used to live sucks?

Just let it go, man. You made it out of here. Invest some energy into liking where you are now instead of hating where you've been.

Whaddya mean he doesn't like being mentioned here.
He sure does like to take screen caps, then rail on perceived racist remarks, and the like.  Being label a racist now days is a-kin to chicken little and the sky is falling, it is the only cop out a person has left, when an argument isn't going as planned.

Also, why not a link to his site, since he doesn't like it.
Why? Because I can.

I can too

I find it odd that that the same person comments on all his blogs.  Most likely it is him doing it himself, but other than the hashtags I don't get the point.

If I had the time or the inclination, I would start a blog called "Albert Lea Sucks Sucks", linking to his posts and making fun of them.
