"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
-- George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

Totally off-topic, but anyway -- yours is one of my absolute favorite blogs to read on a daily basis Heywood. You turn one hell of a phrase, proving that just because the pen is poisoned doesn't mean the message has to be poorly written. So, just in case you don't hear it often enough, PLEASE keep up the good work tearing down these shitheels. We appreciate it.
Thanks. I definitely appreciate the props. You can never hear it too often. And please spread the word.
