/p> p>Well, I could not go on (and aren't you glad?) for laughing at the possibilities of this gaunt -- gaunt what? You can't have a gaunt buffoon, doesn't work. Gaunt oaf? No, oafs are gaunt, either. Well, this gaunt ghoul thinking he has any political future anywhere but Massachusetts, where weird is wonderful. br> -- Diane Smith br> South San Francisco, California br> P.S.

Jay Homnick's plays on words are a pleasure to read and his comments again are right on target. And again, the double standard raises its ugly head. John Kerry can deflect his critics and defend his remarks as "a botched joke" taken out of context all with the blessing of his willing accomplices in the mainstream media. When Trent Lott tells a joke, he is crucified regardless of how many times he sincerely apologizes, stripped of his Senate leadership post, and then marginalized for the duration of his term.

Without a sense of humor, even the best jokes fall flat. And Mr. Kerry does not have a sense of humor or he wouldn't take himself so seriously. My advice to Mr. Kerry is to leave comedy to the professionals. By the way, he should leave governing to the professionals as well.

p>Until recently, I felt no need for term limits since I could vote my pompous windbags out of office. Unfortunately, the voters of Massachusetts refuse to do so ad infinitum, ad nauseam . br> -- Bob Staggs br> Goshen, Kentucky
