Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:

    As I write this letter here on the east coast of the US, it is 9:01pm. Somehow, the dateline and intro to the first sentence of the article written in the midwest:

    ...somehow begs the question, how can Obama deliver a Tuesday morning speech and Shapiro report on it on Monday evening at 8pm, Iowa time?

    Whatever Salon does in the way of posting articles, surely the speech could not have been delivered yet.
