Not the effect the Dems or press intended

In the interest of good-neighborliness, this post has been removed by the administrator, who has learned several good lessons from it:

1) Do not post remnants of a conversation without permission from the other party

2) Be sensitive to the fact that, although you are definitely not playing the other party for laughs (rather, playing “New Yorkese” for laughs) what you write can be misconstrued in such a way as to hurt the other party’s feelings – which was never the intention

3) Make a sincere and public apology to said party (I am truly sorry; I never like to hurt anyone’s feelings) and promise baked goods.

I’ll be more mindful in the future.
