A damn funny thing re: Palin in the paper today... This letter appeared and I have to give credit

where it is due...

A word for our times

Sarah Palin did not invent the word refudiate; she just used the word incorrectly.

To refudiate means to put last night's leftovers in the microwave and irradiate them.

Paul "famous last name"

2. That doesn't mean anything. "Gullible" isn't there, either.

4. That is funny.

I wonder how many gullible people will use refudiate from now on when putting leftovers in the microwave.
