    Hi Jack
    Two right wingers? Only a leftist will be able to name two right wingers. They consider anyone to the right of Ted Kennedy a right winger. To a true right winger, sadly there ARE no right wing politicians. I really can't name one. I wouldn't even consider Reagan to be a right winger.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".


Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.


Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.


In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.

WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
