Of course, I enjoy pointing out a good homonym now and again -- especially when it shows how the GOP is leading the United States of America into fascism.

From DU 2004:

Know your BFEE: Oliver North, Drug Dealer

From Reply 11:

There is an important chapter on Oliver North in Out of Control, written by Leslie Cockburn with the assistance of other CBS personnel. That chapter discusses North's career from altar boy at Sacred Heart Church to the present, including his psychiatric treatment in 1974 after roaming around naked in a Virginia suburb brandishing a 45-caliber pistol, and his plan for suspension of the Constituion and the imposition of martial law. During the war in Vietnam, he returned to the United States to appear on William Buckley's TV show "Firing Line" to protest press coverage of the bloody My Lai massacre.

From DU 2005:

Know your BFEE: The Secret Government

Readers may note several examples where I properly used the word "martial" to warn readers of the fascism GOP leadership was taking the United States of America.

I wouldn't want you to think I'm stupid or anything.
