I've been wondering whether to respond to the letter writer who called Democrats (and by extension, therefore, moi) LYING HYENAS OF SOCIALISM, but I couldn't think of anything funny enough to say that would ever see print. And I do try to restrict my own letters to just a few each year. Going by averages, I'm probably past 21 by now. No wonder the teabaggers are getting tired of listening to me.

But this idea you've presented has just the right tone for the moment. I promise to pass it on in my own words but credit an unnamed source for the thought.

And people wonder why I don't like to talk politics directly with them... sigh.
