I also have no doubt that if a Birmingham resident (or any "dirty Southerner" for that matter) made a similar comment out of school, it would be interpreted in the worst possible light. I'm merely giving the same quarter. And thanks for stopping in. It's good to be back on the <a title="Birmingham blog aggregator" href="http://www.combloggerator.com/" rel="nofollow">Combloggerator</a> after a long hiatus. Southtrek – I have no doubt that you’re correct.

Some are favorable and others fall in the catagory of snarky sanctimoniousness such as your example. There's a lot of it out there and responding to it all is like trying to cure the common cold. Just take comfort that people who've spent more than 15 minutes here and don't base their opinions on the MSM know the truth. For the record, I doubt Pia knows the difference between Alabama State or the University of Alabama and probably thought she was referring to the latter.

That's why I like Chicago more. Like the rest of us, you live in a different country than New York and therefore do not merit atttention from the New Yorker… That’s why I like Chicago more.

Post a response. Perhaps the "enlightened" New Yorker will expound on exactly what they meant. Tone is difficult (at best) to interpret in text. I say go for it Ike! Post a response.
