the 941

We’ve been living in a blissed-out state for weeks now — we haven’t gotten a single voice message. Not a one. Too good to be true? Yup.

We found out today that the message light has been out on the phone for ages — we had 100 waiting for us when we finally figured out admitted what was going on. One of the messages was from H-T columnist Tom Lyons, who took exception with our Election Guide from a few weeks back. Specifically, our writing that he was against the so-called “penny tax.”

In fact, he was against the “so-called” part — we were reacting to this Oct. 23 column, in which Lyons pointed out that “penny” was, and is, misleading. As Lyons just explained to us, he doesn’t take editorial stances on what readers should or shouldn’t vote for.

We regret the error, and not checking our messages since October.
