Nick Coleman corrects the record in a new e-mail to me:

Geraghty: Your weasel-ly correction/retort hardly answers my complaint, but it's a start. But you need to make another correction: My father was not the majority leader of the Minnesota Senate when I was hired by the Tribune.

I started at the Tribune as a summer replacement reporter in June of 1972, after serving as editor-in-chief of the Minnesota Daily, the student newspaper at tthe University of Minnesota. After my summer duties were complete, I was hired to start full-time at the Tribune on Jan. 1, 1973. My father became majority leader of the state senate a few days later, when the Legislature convened. Please correct.

Most of what you write is tedious tripe and you know nothing about Minnesota, me, or my family. The Frat Boys are cowards and mental midgets who hide behind anonymity but who must get a thrill reading their fictions on a supposedly reputable site such as the NRO's. Apparently, you make a nice living cutting and pasting from them and their ilk.

That makes you a bottom feeder.

Your faithful reader,

I apologize — again — for the factual errors — it was the same year, but you now know the correct chronology. TKS strives for accuracy, when I fall short, you know.
