It sounds like this professor has her head on straight. If only more journalists would spend time among the people, and lose that sense of smug superiority. The same goes for most politicians and performers.

Salena Zito is not a 'perfesser' she is an honest writer. She used to write for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review {when it was the Greensburg Tribune Review} and at one time it was a very conservative paper.

It is now 10-12 pages of garbage {they still have George Will on the editorial pages as a conservative}.

I know b&bs. Generally run by gay transplants to the area, who burst in the door of the dining room at 8am carrying a loaded bk’fast plate calling “Fruit coming!”

I don’t think you meet people in either motels or b&bs.

She has a new book out which was reviewed in The New York Times. They killed it but I may pick it up.

As a female traveler I am off the road by 6 pm and won’t stay in a hotel with a door to the outside. Only rooms with doors to inside halls.

The idea of Chicopee Mass being the heartland of anything is hilarious.

Good to iconic restaurants in three east coast States is not “the heartland.” They need to go spend time in small farming communities at hole in the wall restaurants and bars.

So, I suppose sleeping in your truck camper in the Walmart parking lot is out of the question?

I won’t even stay at a Hampton Inn.

At a minimum I stay at Courtyard, in a larger city a Westin, Hyatt or Renaissance. All depends which property I can swing the best discount in.

"When I stayed at a Motel 6 about 2 years ago I was also told that wife I would be an extra charge."

Well, I think I might spring for a couple more dollars to let my wife stay.

You sayin’ you don’t like staying at the Motel 6 where everything is glued or nailed down?

I get where the guys going, but to a lot of America, his journey into what he views as the “wilderness” of Pennsylvania and Ohio is still what is considered “back east”.

He's still a ways from the “heartland”.

78 and do the same. If you can fly first class and don’t, be sure your kids will when you’re gone.

Excellent very short summary of the intellectual class. Your concluding comment on understanding the inevitability of bloody revolutions is also noteworthy.

“I would fail the course before I stayed in a motel 6. “

Don’t shine a black light in one.

The second problem is that these people are over represented in our government, including the Supreme Court.

Anyone else wondering how socio-economically diverse Harvard’s student body is? And that young people can have these kinds of sterotypes in the information age just astounds me.

“Let me tell you - it’s getting tough out on the road. My standards for a place to sleep have gone way up, and for good reason.”

We stayed at a mom and pop motel in Kansas once that still had the stench of a death in the room.

Studying Politics at Harvard? That’s the definition of Narcissism. America would be better off with more aircraft mechanics.
