Not since fourth grade. That was the year for Colorado History in my district's curriculum, and I drew Colorado Springs. I couldn't wait to give my report about how a national song was inspired in Colorado.
Then when John Hinckley, Jr. came along, I started trying to downplay Colorado connections . . .
And Tom Tancredo.
And Douglas Bruce.
