You got the wrong guy, Gottlieb

To the Editor:

In Zachary Gottlieb '10's most recent column ("The Gottlieb Roundup," Sept. 26), a portion of his incoherent stream-of-conciousness refers to "mint julep-sipping, bow-tied conservatives like Niral Shah '08." Now, while I tend not to be easily offended, and have in fact enjoyed sipping a good mint-julep from time to time, I have never, not once, worn a bow tie.

Perhaps Mr. Gottlieb has confused me with that other senior of South Asian descent who edits a campus publication ... you know, the conservative one. Understandably, of course. All brown people do look (and have names that sound) the same.
