I lived for 22 years in SF Bay Area, in a town not unlike she describes. When Obama became President I began writing a weekly column for the town paper. My pieces were 180 degrees off the town’s general politics.

Once a week I ate at a very small hot dog/hamburger stand and got to know the young man behind the counter.

One day he said to me: ‘You write that column in the Herald, don’t you?

Uhoh, I thought, here it comes. I pled guilty to his question. He the said I have to tell you what happened a couple of weeks ago. He went on to explain that a customer was reading my column while having lunch. He began cursing at the paper, yelling, calling me all kinds of names. He was literally getting out of control. The young man called the cops, but the guy left before they got there.

His story made me laugh knowing that I was right over the target. Never did find out which piece triggered his outrage.

You write articles for American Thinker occasionally, if I am not mistaken.
