Groovy political screed, man

Regarding "Get over the loss, GOP" (Dec. 27, Letters): Just read your screed. "Apocryphally bleak picture." I don't know what "apocryphally" means, but I'm sure it's awesome! I'll ask my professor.

And I dug how you quoted the Grateful Dead. Jerry Garcia, a fine example for the youth of America to follow! Keep stickin' it to The Man! Power to the people!
