I now believe that the only people with huevos are liberals who
are defending their liberty and the Constitution and aren't afraid
of the terrorists. The terrorists don't have an army like the
Germans did. They can't occupy territory. All they can do is
terrorize. And that's nothing. So why are conservatives so afraid
of them that they're willing to give up fundamental liberties given
us by the Constitution? Why are they so willing to put whole
sections of the Constitution down the shredder? I can only conclude
that they are afraid; they are wusses unable to confront the
terrorists like men.

CRONE ALONE
Re: The letters under "Cronette Chronicles" in Reader Mail's
Cap-and-Tirade:
Nicole Hollander, creator of the comic, "Sylvia," had a great
discussion on the word crone a few years back. She came up with the
definition, as voiced by Harry the bartender, of "crone- tribal
wise woman, often quite attractive." I'll take it.
