I got your culpas right here. This is a very long column. Liberals ignore tradition as a matter of principle.
Conservatives ignore tradition at their peril.
Or so I have learned. Time to check my e-mail. I'm talking of course about the fact that I haven't done a corrections and clarifications column in eons. I apologize to my longtime readers for my oversight, and to my new readers for what they are about to endure. For those about to snore, I salute you.
