Fortunately, our other outstanding Dumb Columnist, Cheryl Truman, is ending her column. She had a great series of columns a few years when she complained about the salaries of people working for the public schools. Her main gripe seemed to be that people shouldn't earn a good wage if Cheryl Truman doesn't understand what they do.
