The Column They Wouldn't Run! Part II

My column, "Dodge Trucks Are..." made the rounds thanks to the magic of e-mail and good old-fashioned hand outs from friends who copied it and passed it along.


But, more important, the Jersey County Journal (the paper for which I am a columnist and wrote the piece) ran it last week as a letter to the editor!


Here's what happened: the owner wouldn't publish it as a column, so the regional editor suggested that I resubmit it as a letter to the editor, because the paper's policy is to run all letters as long as they aren't slanderous or libelous. So, I resubmitted the column as a letter and they published it last week.
