I thought you’d enjoy a letter from the Great Southwest — here are excerpts:

Jay:
What I also liked/loathed about the AP report is its statement that Sandoval’s positions “disappoint some Hispanics.” Really? Really? You mean to say that not every single person who can trace his lineage in some form or fashion to the conquistadors from the Iberian peninsula is tickled rosa about Sandoval’s policies and politics? Strange.
I mean, I know that our local white guy makes every white guy happy on every single issue there is to discuss. . . .
As an aside, do you suppose the MSM will ever stop treating non-whites as merely Jungian emanations of the alleged minority collective consciousness? I married a woman of Mexican descent, for example. She is wonderful, the light of my life. But, I have met many women of Mexican heritage whom I have no desire to marry. I am assuming, after 22 wonderful years, she has reached the same conclusion about us gringos. What is wrong with us? . . .
As John Derbyshire would say, “Feugh!”

One of my favorite things about this letter is that its writer has an important position in a high school — which makes me feel hopeful about the kids there.

P.S. My SpellChek does not recognize the word “Feugh.” (Is that how you spell “SpellChek”? Is that how you spell “Feugh”?) Sooner or later, these mechanisms must bow to Derb.
