Women are so sensitive! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Forgive me, but based on my anecdotal opinion I\u2019m having a hard time understanding the intent of your posts. \u00a0If it\u2019s purely just blasting local TV news personalities (slash former beauty pageant contestants), then it appears you\u2019re achieving this\u2014mission accomplished. But if you\u2019re truly looking to publish engaging, informative content, then perhaps there\u2019s something more I\u2019m missing.<\/p>\n<p>That stated, I\u2019m a lover, not a fighter. \u00a0Natalie is one of the most driven, ambitious, career motivated professionals I\u2019ve ever encountered\u2026not to mention a wonderful person inside and out. \u00a0Period. \u00a0Paragraph. \u00a0If you're interested, we\u2019d be up for getting a drink with you some time. \u00a0We\u2019re a fun couple, and truthfully appreciate what you do as a journalist. Perhaps we could even amplify some exposure of your column if it turns out you\u2019re not such a bad guy. \u00a0If not, let's just say we won't lose any sleep. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p>Ed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a letter I received Friday from Edward R.
