Spell-check woulda caught this one, from an online ad by none other than the mighty, prestigious Washington Post, which is pitching a recently published book by one of their writers. Our sharp-eyed, share-the-credit-I-don't-need-it JoeB came across it and passed it along.
_____ "An Irreverant A-to-Z Guide to Washington and Beltway Politics." _____ Unabashedly, that kinda reminds me of my favorite letter to the editor I ever sent to The Washington Post. (Over 27 years, I had about 30 letters to the editor published in the Post.) This one was back in the Clinton vs. Gingrich days when the latter was Republican royalty and in his prime. It seems that the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus had come to D.C., and, to publicize their arrival, the circus sponsored a mini-preview for Congress -- in Congress's own digs -- according to a blurb in the WP. I wrote: "Clowns and elephants on Capitol Hill? Isn't that like bringing coals to New(t)castle?" Yeah, I was real proud of that one. Forgive my bragging. Claws, at least you're consistent. -------------------- "Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused."
