I resist the idea, but a reader sent in this: “Derb: Because of your

eloquent testimonial to the joys of the South, I thought of you when I

discovered this page on Zell Miller’s webpage

. Scroll down to the piece he wrote on Top

Ten Country Songs… He’s one of the few Democrats that I think of as a

Great American.”

“Great American”? Hmmm. If he’s a great American, what’s he doing in That

Party? But I’ll allow that a guy who loves his Mom, the U.S. Marine Corps,

and Hank Williams can’t be all bad.
