...could only have been written by a writer.

Well, if they couldn't write, we couldn't read it.

Of course it could only been read by a reader.

etymology of "campaign":

1640s, "operation of an army in the field," from Fr. campagne "campaign," lit. "open country," from O.Fr. champagne "open country" (suited to military maneuvers), from L.L. campania "level country" (cf. It. campagna, Sp. campaña, Port. campanha), from L. campus "a field" (see campus). Old armies spent winters in quarters and took to the "open field" to seek battle in summer. Extension of meaning from military to political is Amer.Eng. 1809. The verb is first attested 1701. Related: Campaigned; campaigning.

When puns are outlawed, only outlaws will have puns.

That would work for a tagline. Not that there is anything wrong with what you have now!

The verb is first attested 1701

Chris Matthews wets his pants nightly on MSNBC - that is when his leg isn’t tingling or his spittle is flying. The guy has become a cartoon.

I always hope for the trifecta when I cruize by DNC-MSNBC

And here is a metonym for "ferocious conservatism".

Wow. That's fascinating.

The fact that an etymological dictionary can be just a click away is just another wonderful thing about the Internet.

IMHO we all should use it more.

Our Annie zings them gloriously as she always does. It’s really no wonder the libs want to shut our guys/gals up.
