This is your daily reminder that there is nothing “American” about overturning the results of a democratic election.
Now stop shouting “1776,” you goddam meth-head.

A pal of mine who grew up here advised me to go back and try the chili. I’m glad I did. Sorry for the loud slurp here. It’s a thing with me and good chili.

The Roanoke Times publishes my letter about the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
I was so pleased this morning to see that The Roanoke Times published my letter to the editor about the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. You can find it right here.
I’m honored that my thoughts about the occasion appear to have struck a chord with people. This same letter was featured first on Wednesday by New York’s Newsday (with a weekday circulation of 437,000), and then here in Virginia by The Bristol Herald Courier (with a circulation of 39,000). As The Roanoke Times has a Sunday circulation of 85,000, this would mean that the letter was distributed to 561,000 readers.
Here’s a big word of thanks to the editors of The Roanoke Times for allowing me to communicate with with my neighbors through such a superb regional newspaper.

Thanks so much to the editors at The Bristol Herald Courier for allowing me to share my thoughts through this leading regional newspaper in southwest Virginia.

I am especially grateful to its editorial staff for selecting my letter for such an esteemed newspaper.
