Dear Bobby,

Issue date: 2/20/08 Section: Opinion
I did see that your hero Bobby Fischer died this past January. His passing garnered considerable media attention. Some of the media's favorite quotes by your hero were regarding his immediate reaction to the 9/11 attacks:
Bobby Fischer:
"This is all wonderful news. It is time to finish off the US once and for all. I was happy and could not believe what was happening. All the crimes the US has committed in the world. This just shows, what goes around comes around, even to the US. I applaud the act. The US and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians for years. Now it is coming back at the US."
Haha…that Bobby Fischer said the cutest things.
To make up for The Leader's inexplicable indefensible failure to devote an entire issue to that guy who played the game with little plastic horseys…errr…chess genius Bobby Fischer, I will give you some writing tips.
In your intro, you smugly tuck your tongue in your cheek and call us Leader people "sickeningly cool" and "NON-NERDY," but then you throw in the word "hedonistic," which is a straight-forward rip on us. Your intro would have been much better if you stayed consistent with your sarcasm, or you just blatantly ripped us the whole time.
For instance, if I wanted to rip you, I would call you an attention craved, pseudo-intellectual mook. See how I stay consistent. Of course, I would never call you those things because I think you're pretty funny, even if it is at our expense sometimes.
