LettersApril 25, 2012 | 12:11 PMLOVES OPRAH, HATES PIGNATARO
Why do you pick on Oprah ("Welcome (Back) to Maui, Oprah," Apr. 12, 2012)? She's not hurting us here on Maui, and she helps lots of folks, even if they are not the ones you think are worth helping. Not only has and does she employ many people worldwide (including here), she has donated somewhere between $300 and $400 million to charity, despite angry jealous people like you dogging on her. How much do you give? You think she's gonna read your trash and give? You have only hurt our island with your words. |
Eh BrahApril 25, 2012 | 11:40 AMEh brah and aunties: Wow! I knew times were hard, but not that hard. First off, brah–you like to come on my property while my family and I are at church and steal our portable generator. That's very bad. Second, you two elderly aunties like to walk up my driveway and take whichever plants you might like to have for yourself. Too bad I was home the other day–did you mind me coming out of the backyard right as you were bending down to steal something? Frankly, I've never seen two old people run so fast! As wise king Solomon once said, "Rob not from the poor, because they are poor." |

You are not widely known for your ability to compromise—for good reason. You rarely do it, you stubborn Bull. But that doesn't mean you're not capable of it, when there's compelling reasons to do so. However, because you're not practiced at bending in these particular directions, you might need a little help from an unbiased third party who can help you and your "negotiating partner" come to a reasonably happy agreement, and call you out when you're just plain being unrealistic or unfair (which is bound to happen once or twice). This can be an easy conversation, if you include the right people. Please do. |
Kula KidApril 25, 2012 | 12:09 PMby Anuhea YagiYou know what got me this job (almost) three years ago? A for-fun story about feral rat rape and remorse. It was just some dumb thing written solely to xerox and trade with friends at a wannabe writers' group. To tell you the horrible truth, it was the first written thing I'd ever finished.
My predecessor, Kate Bradshaw (who was moving back to the Mainland), was at that meet-up and read my work. She must have liked it–or hated me–because she recommended that I apply for her gig at MauiTime. |
