This is the same Howie Carr who wrote a Boston Herald column in 1997
that began:

> I'm an American driver and I'm consumed by road rage

In 2001 he wrote:

> Bicycles are OK in the driveway if you're 6 years old.

> the bicycle, or at least confine its use to dirt paths,
> or the woods. But stay off our highways.

Last month, he was bitching about the cost of John Kerry's Serotta.

Carr is a former frat-boy who has figured out how to make a living by
posing as an Archie Bunker-style right-wing *******. You can write to
