LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Goodman going viral is sad, funny

Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman has become the proverbial “overnight sensation.”

A friend in Melbourne, Australia, asked me via email, “What does the (I) after her name mean?” I said, “It’s supposed to mean Independent but Anderson Cooper used the term ‘ignorant’ in his interview with her, so draw your own conclusions.” Trumpublicans aren’t alone in their willful ignorance of science and common sense.

From London, where “The Golden Girls,” was a big hit, another friend said, “She’s like the fifth Golden Girl, isn’t she? She’s got Dorothy’s voice and Rose’s brains.”
