The moil was evident in Eric Holder's expression as he denied, denied, and denied involvement in Fast and Furious. The truth was a different matter.

Yours is the first of what should be several cutting remarks. Speaking of which, one should be careful not to confuse "moil" with "mohel".

The economy’s lapsed into moil
As unemployment continues to spoil
Barack’s re-up odds
High praise to the gods
And ex-supporters, who flinch and recoil

Does the term moil spread from the top down, or from the bottom up?

Despite months of moil and millions of dollars spent, nothing has changed in Wisconsin government. Walker is still Governor, Kleefisch is still Lt. Governor, and our State Senators are still in office. One cloud is that one Senator is on the verge of defeat, but a new election looms in November with Republicans favored to gain 3 seats. What has changed is that both sides of the electorate are energized and have hardened in their views.

You have been at ground zero in the battle to bring our country back from the brink for months now. I don’t know how you stand up to all that pressure. WI has withstood it all though. Just a few more months till Nov, hang in there.
