Gas-guzzler label wrong; no SUV in his garage

Editor:

This is to inform you that your fact checker should be fired. I suggest Barry Paschal go to an ophthalmologist, too! In his July 4 column he not only demeaned me as a gas-guzzler but insisted that he saw me drive a White Cadillac Escalade SUV. I have never owned, operated or even have been in such a car. I drive a Buick Park Avenue with a bumper sticker that says "John Kerry for President." I plan to add another which says "The John Boys are great!" Perhaps I should add another that says Barry Paschal owes me an apology. However, just like the Bush administration, I doubt whether he will see a fact for what it is.

By the way, my car gets 30 miles to the gallon on the highway! Does yours?
