LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO AMBROSE BIERCE

Dear Hillary:
( Won't u come out to play?...)

CONSUL, n. In American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office
from the People is given one
by the Administration on condition that (s)he leave the country.

PS: CONSERVATIVE, n. A statesmen who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from
the Liberal,who wishes to replace them with others

THE DEVIL' S DICTIONARY (1881-1906)

PS: The segment "THE WORD" was inspired by this tome. Colbert read it soon after
the death of his father and two brothers in a plane crash. A relative gave it to him
thinking the boy needed 'cheering-up'.(i think it worked!)

PSS:Bierces' "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" remains the only award winning film shown on network television that did not contain dialogue. It was presented to the american audience
by Rod Serling thru the TWILIGHT ZONE brand.


PSSS: there is nothing wrong with a liberal that a few years' won't cure
Winnie the P.M.

Thanx Dar the Librarian
