I read this board every day and I learn some of the nuances and passionate differences in American politics . Being a Canadian it is my discretion to just observe rather than comment .
On the topic you have posted about , Janice , I read a joke about that nasty ' C ' word .
I hope no-one minds the levity .

A few years ago a gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard that Senator Obama was on the same flight .
This is exciting , thought the gentleman . I've always been a big fan of Sen. Obama . Perhaps Ill be able to see him in person .
Imagine his surprise when Sen. Obama sat down in the seat next to him for the flight . Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to the Senator . Shortly after take-off , the Senator began a crossword puzzle .
This is fantastic , thought the gentleman . I'm really good at crosswords . Perhaps , if the Senator gets stuck , he ll ask me for assistance .
Almost immediately , the Senator turned to the gentleman and said , " Excuse me , but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends with the letters ' u-n-t ? ' "
Only one word leapt to mind...My goodness , thought the gentleman , I can't tell the Senator that disgusting word . There must be another word .
The gentleman thought for quite a while , then it hit him . Turning to the Senator the gentleman said , I think the word you're looking for is ' aunt ' .
Of course , said the Senator . " Do you have an eraser ? "
To bite the worm of incite is to bite the HOOK of the antagonist . They win .
