Dem dreams
Re “Is the Democratic Party of Wisconsin Ready for a Trump Windfall?” (Madland, Isthmus.com, 5/9/2016): It’s the DPW dream come true! They can keep offering bland centrist candidates and uninspiring policies and they can win!

Dog hunter
Judith Davidoff and most of the Madison media err in referring to Kurt Rausch, who shot and killed two dogs in my hometown on the night of Jan. 22, as a “coyote hunter” (“Dog Slaying Raises Night Hunting Concerns,” 5/5/2016). He is no such thing. He is a dog hunter, and should be referred to as such. Claiming to be a “coyote hunter” should not excuse Rausch from the legal, moral and financial consequences of his action. He’s the varmint, not the coyotes that live in my neighborhood.

Fighting words
