I’m fairly sure the CTA letter to the editor, despite the phone call, will not be appearing in the Sun-Times. That having been said, while monitoring the letters’ page to look for it, I found this brain-dead complaint:

I just thought I’d take a moment to share my Irish heritage. Two days late, I understand, but I was inspired by Mike’s post (which was actually on time), and thought I’d take a moment this weekend to look through my family’s genealogical records to figure out exactly how Irish I am.
My great-great-great-grandfather, [...]

Sounds like Sarah Michelle Geller, Mark Hammill, and a few other celebrities contributed their voices to colleague Seth Green’s new Comedy Central Claymation-based TV series, Robot Chicken. It’s a series of 5- to 10-second parody bits (sometimes longer) that are all very well-written and hilarious. The voice parodies are pretty hilarious, too — [...]
I received a newsletter from my old college theater program today, and shook my head with black humor — they haven’t changed a bit. I’m from the Class of ‘96, so I’m a year away from being 10 years away from college (holy shit, where did the time go), and it looks like nothing’s [...]

Today’s Sun-Times seems to have a heavy concentration of CTA-based letters, but not mine. Maybe they thought it was too polemic (although, ironically enough, every word’s true). Ah, well, wait and see.
“He said he thought I was an angel sent from God, and that I was his sister and he was my brother in Christ. And that he was lost, and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people.”
Remarkable story about what it was like to [...]
The Sun-Times called to verify that I wrote this letter I had previously posted up here … looks like it might be published! (Good!)
You can keep an eye on this page on the Sun-Times‘ website to see when they publish it, if y’like.
