Salon letters: hotbed o' wank
I don't think I've seen any Salon letters wank here; as it turns out, it's quite the treasure trove. Here's a couple of prizewinners from this week.

(N.B. If you're not a paid subscriber, you'll have to sit through the "day pass" ad to get to the materials. Also, if you're using Firefox with Adblock, you'll probably find that plug-in very useful. And finally, Salon posts its letters in newest-to-oldest order, so if you want to start from the beginning of each fap session, go to the last page first. by default, so use the radio buttons at the top of the letters page to change the view. Thanks to the mousie in the comments for the tip; somehow my gaze skipped right over those buttons.)

First up: responses to Diary of a Turkey Killer, one woman's account of raising, slaughtering, and eating her own turkey. This one is the proverbial fish-inna-barrel sort of thing; the omnivores and vegetarians get into it right away. One person even compares the article to OJ Simpson's "If I Did It". Good times.

Next up: well, speaking of OJ, Debra J. Dickerson urges OJ Simpson to do the world a favor and kill himself. In addition, she refers to the single men available to single moms of a certain age as "remnants". The peanut gallery goes nuts, as you might expect, with 162 letters at last count, taking her to task more or less equally for telling OJ to off himself and for the "remnants" remark. There's also a lot of "You go girl!" type stuff as well, and people telling off the YGG crowd for their cheerleading, and vice versa. Super good times.
