What is it with liberals and the so-called digital divide? Bleeding heart gyno-columnist Ruth Sheehan goes on about it again today.

News flash: There is no digital divide. No more than there’s a hybrid automobile divide, or a Subaru-with-gay-equal-sticker divide. It’s all in what you choose to spend your money on. As I posted some time ago:

My favorite response was from a black teacher at George Watts Elementary School who, when asked about the so-called digital divide, pointed out that there didn’t seem to be a divide among the black kids when it came to the latest video game machines.

When I was a kid there was a “color TV divide,” but I don’t remember any government agency or lefty foundation buying my family the latest RCA or Philco color TV.

There was also an “automatic transmission divide.” My dad could never afford automatic transmission, and it scarred me for life. If only Ruth Sheehan had been around to advocate for government involvement in our family’s auto needs back then.

And then there was the “London Fog divide,” which I had to endure in high school in Fayetteville in the fearly 1960’s. If you wanted to be cool you had to have a London Fog coat from Howard & Whitaker’s but our family, my dad being a career Army officer, couldn’t afford London Fogs, or real Madras shirts, for that matter. If only Ruth Sheehan had been around to scold the powers that be to get me a tan London Fog and a real Madras shirt.
