While I do my best to be civil and to use profanity merely as occasional seasoning [View all]

[Atticus]

rather than the main course of my opinion menu, I am ashamed to say that I am close to exhausting my supply of patient forbearance. I assure you that I am quite capable of language that will peel paint, startle wildlife and make Howard Stern blush, but I have managed to avoid such over-the-top verbiage despite the provocations of poltroons like Trump, Pence, Kavanaugh and Barr. I don't know how much longer I can comment on the doings of such moral mutants without using the terms which first pop into my head as I hear what new atrocity they are proposing to "MAGA".

So, if I start using more "colorful" language, I hope that you'll try to cut me some slack and understand that, like many of you, I am doing my best to "stay classy" under extremely trying circumstances.

Thank you in advance for your patience.
