"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.

Yes, Stanley Truelove, the democracy scientist, warns the American people of dangerous times ahead. America is experiencing a serious sign of cancer – proud politicians. Oh, if we could only eliminate our excess waste properly! An excellent OpEd piece by Peggy Noonan opened my eyes to this enlarged cancer. After you read the piece, go back and count all the "I"'s mentioned in the speech by Bill Frist. You will not notice the arrogance the first time, because we are accustom to politicians bragging about their record or devotion. When politicians feel they should tell us about their humble life and work, they lack the humbleness to lead.
The day of the reluctant leader or the public servent is past. We the people are the servents now.
