Thanks to reader Curt Benson

Thanks to reader Curt Benson for catching the Trunk and me on the radio this morning. Unfortunately, his reaction is not exactly a rave review: “Ouch! Your interview on the radio this morning was awful.” Wait, it gets a little better: “Not your fault–the host, whom I’ve never listened to before, was clueless.” Yes, she was. She also was the Democratic candidate for Governor of New Hampshire a few years ago. The lines were clearly drawn; the Trunk and I argued that race discrimination is always a bad idea (not to mention illegal, in the context of a state institution like the University of Michigan); she argued that it all depends. It was a minor skirmish in the ongoing war, but it’s good to know that at least a few people were listening.
