DAM is spelled DAMN. Perhaps just a foolish typo.
Nope, it's the way Paul Greenberg writes it in is columns and if it's good enough for Paul Greenberg then it's good enough for Free Republic.
Paul Greenberg may write it "in IS columns" but incorrect spelling is not good enough. If an expert like Wm. Safire told me it was correct I'd believe it -- but who the hell is Greenberg? P.S. Does Greenberg also say it's correct to spell "his" as "is" ? Perhaps not another foolish typo but a proper spelling of which I'm not aware.
