I confess, I haven't read many LDS articles in the Times. I've read several incorrect or slanted political articles, and assumed that would extend to Mormons.

My sincere apologies to the wounded feelings of the Times, who obviously are much more Mormon-friendly than I had supposed.

Didn't I read somewhere that LDS are viewed more favorably on the east coast, because all the Mormons there tend to be educated and professionals?

Whereas out in the west you have all the white-trashy Mormons and all the mullahs and Eagle forum types, etc.

Mormons on east coast = Jews
Mormons in the West = Huckabee-ites of a different persuasion

How do you use your broad brush to paint us Mormons in the "Mid South?"

Genteel? Aristocratic? Refined?

Two wards in Collierville. That's the same number of wards on Paris.
