expect to see that particular word, as common as it is, in their local newspaper. Mea culpa.
On the other hand, what I find obscene and disgusting is a political party that has lied to and duped a nation into a senseless war without a strategy for conclusion, a party that has lined the pockets of its supporters with taxpayer dollars, a party that has declared war on sane environmental protection, and a party that has been so fiscally irresponsible and profligate that we will surely never see another federal surplus. That is Mr. Allen’s party and they have failed in their responsibility to us, their employers. It is time for a change. Sometimes when a person feels as strongly as I do about this, our choice of words in indelicate.
