Our Howard Brethren

Today, as I was listening to some talk radio program talking about Michaele and Tareq Salahi, I wondered whether this story was getting any play in the middle of the country. The whole party crashing affair and the resultant avalanche of news coverage seems so East Coast.

That got me wondering if there might be a sort of Bizarro World Howard County out there, in the middle of the country somewhere, where this sort of thing wouldn’t even get play on the front page, much less above the fold.

It turns out that there is another Howard County, in Indiana. And here’s the first “bizarro” part. Their county seal is almost identical to ours.

And the Salahi’s are nowhere to be found. Not on the front page at least.
