The op-ed a few years ago was a scathing denunciation of pedophile cover-ups in the Los Angeles Diocese of the Catholic Church and centered on the name of "Mahoney".

Sic.

Sic him someone did in a letter which sneered, a value judgment on my part but we're into that game now, this was spelled, "Mahony". Well, I have often tasted approbations such as the time I sadly related a Plant Manager colleague was shot to death by her husband over a dispute with money for bringing in family members on his side from a turbulent Central American country. Why, no, this was over her cheating. No, that's that, stop arguing, Gent.

"Get it right, [stupid]," is another game.

An excoriating letter answered the one outraged by the added "e" saying what a typical diversion this allegiance to propriety was. In this case, I agreed. Reinforcement is wonderful and the Great Net has plenty for minds on all sides and sometimes no minds at all.

The phrase "drink the Kool-Aid" came into use with the killings by the "Reverend" Jim Jones. It commenced the era of cults being the big danger. Male chauvinism and rape on the job? Nah. My good liberal and/or Christian friends again knew better especially against folks who wilted before them.

But what Jones used was "Flavor-Aid", a knock off available in---better or not---discount stores near you. It's very much a similar thing to the kerfuffle over the other reverend's last name but I suppose my own self-righteousness, however meek, is toward selective sanctimony.

But what do I know? I do know far left and far right use the Kool-Aid expression and what's wrong with a nice reach across the aisle? Although flavored sugar water will be received with a kool----sorry, cool demeanor.
