I regret to inform you that residents of Alabama go by the appellation “Alabamians,” not “Alabamans.” I thought this was pretty silly when I moved here, but ‘tis so. That should help solidify the blue southeast on your map. However, I have another quibble: listing Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Mr. Murphy, After reading your article on felt-tip markers and the effects of huffing, I can only conclude you are obviously brain-damaged. No citizen, parent or otherwise caring person would write such a ridiculous missive about something as dangerous as huffing. The article is not funny; it is
The other day I snapped. I had received a forwarded email that began: ‘Facts About Social Security. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, …’ I should have hit the ‘delete’ button right then. Any letter that [felt it needed to identify] FDR as a Democrat was either written for fools or extremely partisan,

Wow! I totally agree with what that no-name singer said about Liz Phair! I feel the same way! I was basically as good as Beck in the early ‘90s. Sure, I wish I’d written ‘Loser,’ but it’s not like I used distortion on my guitar or anything.
Can you help me? I am 62 years old and very aware of my choice for fashion. My business allows me to dress casually daily. I will spend $125 to $185 for slacks and $125 for shirts. I wear a lot of knits and Gucci shoes. My problem is matching
