... wrote a letter to the editor of our local ragsheet, all terrified that she'd have to drop her additional coverage because her health insurance company had sworn on a stack of bibles that the rates would skyrocket.

When they don't, I hope she can at least admit her error to herself. She would never tell me I was right, that's for sure. And I won't point it out to her or even ask, "How's your insurance coverage lately?" These people have to see for themselves; they're too smart to listen to any little damnedYankee-invader-outside-agitator that ain't nobody and don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'.

Although I do hope some of them suspect just a little why my happy grin broadens by the day. Well, I'd die from shock if anyone ever did approach me and express any regret, so maybe it's just as well they don't.
