I had this thought quite some time ago:

If I used to own a bar...

and then I shut it down and decided to retire...

but later changed my mind and reopened it...

would that make me a re-publican?


But what if I poured out the drinks with a liberal hand?

With a little landscaping, I could be a tree-publican.

... Move to Vail and become a ski-publican?

Or to Michigan and become an Erie-publican.

Given the number of long-ee sound words and fragments in the English language, this could go on interminably with little reflection on our talents for anything other than thinking of a nonsense syllable and setting up some kind of situation to explain it.

That being said, I'm closing on a 'Simplify, simplify' note and saying you'd already be a she-publican ;) .

Are you suggesting that we should crumple up and toss this whole silly conversation into a wee public can?

Well, we prob'ly can if we want to.
