Because I write a lot about Ann Arbor, my hometown, people send me a lot of mail about Ann Arbor — and get a load of this, just in:

Jay,
Your post, “O’s (Latest) Insult,” struck a particular chord with me. Just yesterday, I was running errands over lunch in Ann Arbor when I came across a bumper sticker that I’d never seen before, affixed to a Toyota hybrid SUV. (By the way, what is it about “hybrid SUV” that makes me chuckle a bit to myself?) The sticker said, “I think, therefore I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh.”
I agree with your assessment of the Left, particularly the elitist Left. I’ve never encountered a more homogeneous bunch, right down to their dismissal of things that they’ve not even bothered to experience for themselves. I’d bet a lot of money (were I a gambling man) that the woman driving this hybrid SUV (I can’t say it without chuckling) has never listened to Rush Limbaugh. Not even once. But she knows that anyone who does is an unthinking fool.

A woman in a hybrid SUV with a bumper sticker that says, “I think, therefore I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh.” That symbolizes Ann Arbor almost perfectly, and sums up what I rebelled against. Stupidity that is arrogant and mean is an especially repellent kind of stupidity.
