As a fellow wordsmith, I was smitten by Bill Branyon’s commentary in the Nov. 2 Mountain Xpress [“Let’s Bag It”]. Henceforth, Stephanie Miller will no doubt curtail her public verbal comments to fewer sentences adorned with four-letter words full of nasty connotations. Mr. Branyon certainly put Miller “in her place” with great skill. Of course, I am not surprised, after editing his marvelous book, Liberating Liberals. All I can add is that our Liberated weekly newspaper should continue to keep up the good words.
