Now, I love our Civil War history, don't get me wrong. It's just funny to watch a Democrat get a pass on the issue when we all know Barbara Walters would probably lecture and get belligerent with a Republican Presidential candidate who lived on an old Southern plantation.

Just thought I'd bring this up again to The American Prowler!

PRE-KRUGMAN MAN
Re: John Corry's Worse Than Maureen Dowd:

On your piece concerning the Times and its "journalism":

Check the Atlantic Monthly archives around 1896-98. You will find an article arguing conclusively that the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Same nonsense over 3 centuries.

ON THE SIDE OF THE ANGELS
Re: K. E. Grubbs Jr.'s The Triumph of the West:

Thanks, Mr. Grubbs. for your historical and memorable update on the Angels! It gave me chills of joy. (I miss the big A with the Halo.)

However, you failed to mention that Orange County voted for Bush. Twice! A badge of honor for those of us who are political outsiders in this crazy state, and of interest to other "Prowlers."

As an Orange County native (Dodger fan, too) living in northern California, this is a dream series for me. Mickey Mouse defeats Willie Brown, who would ever imagine? Mickey has already eviscerated Mr. Steinbrenner. Can it get any better?

During the Yankee series there was a sign in the stands:

Yankees -- #1 in Payroll
Angels -- #1 in Heart

GO SO-CAL!

K. E. Grubbs Jr. replies: Thanks for your comments. I also neglected to mention that we'll win this for The Gipper, who launched his political career in Orange County.

POLL AX
Re: Dave Shiflett's The Whole Trooth:

I imagine that poor Mr. Shiflett has already heard from a multitude of people that it is telephone poles not polls (unless I missed the joke). As a person who has spelling difficulties myself I have found it a very slippery slope to criticize someone's spelling (and English and punctuation for that matter). However, I enjoyed the article very much. My sympathy.
