A FAKE REPUBLICAN in the New York Times? I used to get a lot of letters published in the NYT, and the letters staff knew who I was. I don’t think there’s much chance that they didn’t realize they were publishing letter after letter from a “lifelong Republican” who happened to always agree with Democrats.
UPDATE: Reader Mark Artuso emails: “The way you worded this article, it makes it sound like YOU are the lifelong Republican who happened to always agree with Democrats… I’m pretty sure that isn’t the case.” Oops. Nope. That’s obvious if you follow the link, but I can see how people who didn’t do so could get the wrong idea. Note to self: Reduce pithiness by 10%.
