I wrote an editorial in my newspaper, The Observer, this month on accepting others political opinions without fear of retribution. Last night I attended a cocktail party where a woman I did not know said she had a real problem with my column in The Observer supporting John Kerry for president. I said it did not really matter since her man had won. She still continued.
"You do one thing really well in The Observer," she said. "You know how to spell."
Such is the glamorous life of a writer.

Today the post election world continues to confuse me. What happened to winning graciously? We had a call from a mortgage company last week asking about ad rates. My husband called them this morning and they said they had changed their minds. They read my column questioning Bush's pro life stance when he made decisions that were anything but pro life. Based on that opinion, they decided they could not advertise in our paper. They also decided they could not advertise in the Gainesville Sun, the only daily paper in our area.
I guess they will be saving lots of money on advertising if they are looking for media outlets that only print material they agree with.
