Making Much Out of Nothing

Dear Editor,
   Much is made every election year about the cultural divide between Democratic voters and Republican voters. It may be true that there's a cultural divide, but the Republicans do everything they can to exacerbate it. Making much out of trivia is one of their favorite tools, and of course the media laps this sort of stuff right up.
   It's hard to know which supposed symbol of the cultural divide is the silliest. Latte vs. regular brew is certainly in the running.
   My favorite, though, is the notion that Swiss cheese is a sign of elitism. I eat a lot of Swiss cheese, and I never knew I was one of the elite before, so as you can imagine I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. I get my Swiss cheese at a gourmet food store called HEB. It's made by a specialty foods company known as Kraft.
