Not being one to blow my own horn (more than once a week), I have to report that I now have at least one person in Louisiana that has gone public with the fact that he reads my website commentaries. The Alexandria Town Talk published a letter on Saturday from the brave soul. See letter here.

In fairness, my columns are published quite often in Hammond’s The Daily Star and periodically in the St. Charles Herald Guide. If one ever wants to meet a courageous newspaper editor, you can find two of them at the Star and Guide.

And, no, the papers don’t pay me. More to the point I don’t have to pay them to run my commentaries.
