LTTE NYT

Hah, a Springfield man gets his letter published in today's New York Times.

To the Editor:

"The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History" supports my
contention that the real divide in this country is not blue versus red, but blue
versus gray.

Larry A. Stevens
Springfield, Ill., Jan. 26, 2005

Actually, I met Larry a long, long time ago (he's a friend of a friend). I suspect his letter was longer (much longer) but, as editors will do, it was chopped down to size. The book in question is somewhat controversial and has sparked debates in the blogosphere, but I haven't read it so I won't comment.

Speaking of divides, I'm working on a post about Illinois and its divides. I probably won't post it for a day or two.
