That's not faux Shakespeare. It's faux Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

This guy is govenment man all the way. We need a real conservative originalist. Mr Robers is NOT that man.

The NY Times tells you how to think and you -- think-it.

Thanks for being so gallant and pleasant about it all.

Thanks for the compliment, but I just thought it was being straight-forward. There's no need for rancor about small stuff. BTW, what's the correct way to spell straight-forward? The spell check offers four choices.

NY Times | David Brooks | Excerpt:Roberts....submitted his wedding notice to the wedding page of The New York Times, which is perceived as alien turf by ideological conservatives.

This from a guy who submits his Op-Ed piece to the NY Times.

(Not to mention a frequent analyst on NPR's "All Things Considered".)

You're asking spelling advice from the wrong person. :-)

WEBSTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIC UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE shows it as being spelled straigtforward.

He's a nutter! Conservatives used to always try to place announcements in the SUNDAY ( the rest of the week doesn't count as much ) wedding section. It used to be ( until they turned it over to weirdo couples and homosexuals ) THE place for "society" weddings and was VERY difficult to get one's announcement published in.

"He's a nutter!"

With impersonal pronouns, who's he?

[nopardons]

Brooks, for saying what he did about the wedding announcement.

[Spirited]

Add to that giving millions away all over the world out of the pocket of American "citizens".

[Inwoodian]

I think it's faux Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
