“The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.” — Charles Kettering
(So, the next time you see one of those stupid Tea Bagger bumper stickers, or hear Sarah Palin ask: “How’s that Hopey-Changey thing working out for you?” remember the petulant two year olds, known as the Republican Congressmen, who said: No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No to every significant change suggested by President Obama, during his first two years in office. Oh, and don’t forget how everything is/was his fault . . . even before he took office. I guess they feel a good Messiah should be able to turn back the hands of time, snap his fingers, and fix what his predecessor screwed up. Just imagine what might have been accomplished, if there had been even the slightest spirit of cooperation from the right side of the aisle.) — YUR
Thank you for your answers to the published puzzles. Just the answers are all we care about; not your left of center political leanings. Respectfully, CAA
Dear Mr. Aycock,
I highly doubt that you took any kind of representational poll to quantify your use of “we”, but even if you had you fail to realize one very simple fact: this is my blog. All of its content is at my discretion. As I see it, you have three options at your disposal. 1.) You can read just to the answer, and save yourself the exposure to my leanings. 2.) You can continue to read the entire thing, and a.) sit and stew or b.) write to me your opposing view. Or 3.) Find a new blog to get the answer to these puzzles.
The choice is entirely yours, sir.
Regards,
YUR
I like today’s puzzle. The last word, Neuron, really got on my nerves, lol, hahaha. I Huddled with the Coach and received a Jaded opinion as to how I should proceed. Trudge on wordsmiths. We shall conquer the written word.
I enjoy Unclerave’s personal comments and information about the authors and crypoquote just as much if not more than the answer. I usually already have the answer before I log in, but his blog always adds to it. Unclerave’s comments are what makes it a personal blog. He states the purpose of his blog directly under the title. (Also a comment to Lt. Col Aycok, don’t use the word “we” unless you are stating who “we” are. You certainly aren’t speaking for all the readers of this blog.) Thank you Unclerave for sharing both the answers AND your thoughts and/or research each day about the crypoquote!!
Nicely stated, YUR.
Perhaps another option for Mr. Aycock would be to start his own blog if he has such a problem with yours.

Thanks, guys! My preference is for the Lt. Col. to keep on reading, and challenge me on what he doesn’t like. I’m generally up for a little healthy, civil debate.
Wilton Earl Hall lived an honorable life. He appears to have been a civic-minded individual, who didn’t let the power go to his head. Today’s politicians (for life) would do well to follow his example.
