We really ought not pick on David Gehrig. <br>
<br>
After all, he is such a nice guy.<br>
<br>
And one simply has to admire the way that he uses the word "squashrot"
and associates it with <br>
this ephemeral periodicity. It's like you get the DI every day but <br>
squashrot is near-weekly, sort of like the Buzz... Magnificent prose.<br>
<br>
And those "f's"--- it brings back reminiscences of the Who, <br>
brilliantly understated in near-alliteration. Wow.<br>
<br>
A couple of things though. I sure didnt know that David had the
copyright on <br>
sanctimonious. I would have had him buy a few more beers for us while<br>
I was in C-U if I had known that.<br>
<br>
And if it is true that you have the copyright, you'd better have your
attorney send<br>
Mr. Gehrig a letter warning him of the infringement.<br>

<pre wrap="">Is the ACLU responsible for what David Gehrig writes in letters to the
DI? When he volunteered to sit at the table, should they have said:
now, not just anyone can sit at this table. What kind of letters do
you plan to write to the DI?

<pre wrap="">The last time I saw David Gehrig, he was manning the ACLU table at the
Farmers Market. I hear that he has resigned from the Urbana City Council.
Here's his comment in response to my DI letter:

"Is the Daily Illini really so hard up for letters that it must print
near-weekly squashrot from the fringe flake David Green? Has he absolutely
no idea of how he comes across? I've never seen anyone so brilliantly
incarnate every facet of the far-right parody of what a dour, smug,
holds-the-copyright-on-sanctimonious leftist is like. Is he some kind of
counter-Colbert, except that nobody's in on the joke?"
