Nutty comment on the Colbert Nation official site

Somebody is suggesting Colbert have me on the Colbert Report, as I am "the biggest liberal who could ever be spawned in this good country. She claims that she loves America but we all know she is lying."

So evidently some conservative nutter has read The American Story and -- who knows? didn't like the story about Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs? Thought I was "soft" on Native Americans?

Why am I so tickled? Best Blogger Tips

Barre (Vermont) Read Steal Away

This was back in early May, but I forgot to post this picture of the banner hanging from the public library. I spent two days in Barre middle schools and being feted. Like I always say, being feted is much nicer than being fetid. It was a little weird to discuss a book I wrote fifteen years ago -- the kids I was talking to were more familiar with it than I was. I meant to reread it before I went, but for some reason I didn't. And I couldn't remember many of the details. I said something about one of the characters, and the kids in the classroom all said, "Huh? No she didn't!" Ooops. Best Blogger Tips
