A commenter recently took umbrage at the fact that I referred to the “Democrat Party” in a recent post. I humbly apologize, as I share her feelings about this usage. All I can say is that the reference slipped by the fact checking committee, the style committee and the board of editors, all of whom have now been duly chastised.
In my further defense, I was running out of gas when I wrote that. Once in a blue moon (and in fact we are having a blue moon this month) I suffer from insomnia. I got no sleep the previous night, and by the time I got around to working on the blog I was running on empty. (Notice how I avoided mixing metaphors, at the unfortunate cost of using the same word twice.)
I wish I could say that it won’t happen again, but given the poor staffing around here, it’s almost inevitable.
