How about giving Emily Priddy ( Op/Ed perspective Nov. 7) her own column? Her story Pass the Spam was a clever treatment of the dour articles that have frequented the editorial page. I must admit her article caused some unsettling stirrings in my suppressed fears that my regional lineage might suddenly prompt a cravin’ for Moon Pies and RC sodies. I assume others will find her article offensive for one reason or the other but I found it to be witty and a welcome relief from all the critical hyper- socialized commentaries.

Thanks for brightening my day Emily, but one last comment, isn’t a hill-billy english teacher an oxymoron.
