Just two weeks ago, I called Jim Scarantino the biggest jackass in New Mexico. Today, he has written something that couldn’t be more different from the angry tone of his usual political column. Jim found peace and it infuses this column. I hope – I would pray, if I prayed – his next column is as free of anger and hate. One would begin to look forward to reading his column.

Will those readers who like Scarantino’s Limbaugh impression be put off by this column? I can imagine them yelling “traitor! terrorist!”

peace,
