The Body Politic: PORK PROJECTS GET A VOTE - CHILDREN STILL WAITING
Friday, May 27, 2005
The Body Politic: PORK PROJECTS GET A VOTE - CHILDREN STILL WAITING: "This week, the South Carolina General Assembly busied itself with what seems to have become an annual ritual - overriding Governor Sanford's vetoes. After the Governor returned a budget with 163 vetoes totaling $96 million, the General Assembly - in either a sign of deep respect for the process or a profound fear of piglets - managed to debate each veto before overriding almost every one of them. While not offering an opinion on the validity of certain programs or whether or not these vetoes should have been sustained, we find it ironic that each and every one of these items received debate and an up or down vote - something parents and children were denied when the school choice bill Put Parents in Charge was on the House floor.

"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.
