TO: Editor, The New York Times

The title of Frank Rich's column today proclaims that "Herbert Hoover Lives." Indeed he does. But contrary to Mr. Rich's argument, Hoover's ghost seems to animate President Obama at least as much as it animates G.O.P. members of Congress.

In response to the economic downturn of the early 1930s, President Hoover signed the largest tariff hike in U.S. history (Smoot-Hawley); he tried to spur the residential real-estate market with the Federal Home Loan Bank Act; he sought to assist the financial sector by launching the Reconstruction Finance Corporation; and he aimed to decrease unemployment through public-works programs with the Emergency Relief and Construction Act.

Oh, and he also raised taxes on corporations and on the rich. No laissez faire President he!

Seems to me as if U.S. President #44 has had some séances with U.S. President #31.

Sincerely,

Some scientists say that the major building block of the universe is hydrogen because it's the most plentiful element, but my theory is that the universe is made out of stupidity, because it is more plentiful than hydrogen.

It's CARBON, carbon is the building block of the universe.

Actually, Sparks, Zappa was paraphrasing this quote:

The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.

I'm going to guess that you flunked chemistry because the building blocks of the universe are protons,neutrons and electrons. You can build any substance in the universe with them. Hydrogen is the most common combination of those building blocks in the universe.

I was talking elements, like CARBON, not sub atomic particles. And it wouldn't be chemistry, it would be physics. (Both of which I aced at the University of South Carolina, along with all math courses)

Norman Thomas said this in a 1944 speech:
> " The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "Liberalism", they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party . The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."
