Gee, I felt bad that you called me quirky and deemed two of my movies "box-office poison." But then I noticed in the same issue you said that Dennis Rodman's sometime religion is "Moron" and that Farrah Fawcett has Jell-O for brains. Now I realize it's still an honor to be mentioned in such a classy magazine!

LETTER FROM AN AIRMAN

THE PRICE OF A DRINK

It took all my restraint not to explode with anger after reading the article on the Baghdad Country Club [May 7]. Cheers to all of the contract workers who get to enjoy themselves with cigars and cocktails after a long day of earning bloated salaries under the protection of allied troops. The contractors' fear of not having beer delivered is tremendously stressful and surely the need to unwind is well deserved. But they can rest assured that the Country Club is secure, thanks to the many young soldiers fighting beyond the walls of the Green Zone. Those soldiers, I would add, do not have the pleasure of patronizing the bar; they just get to defend it. Cheers to all you carpet-bagging contractors and nonessential embassy employees. And if it gets too hot, just fan yourselves with all the money you're making.
