chit speakThis is probabaly larger than the version I bought that had an afterword copyright 1961. I gave away my

large collected writings volume when I wanted to impress some thinker with how many times Ambrose Bierce beat

him to whatever conclusion he was looking for. The sections of the Signet Classic version I own were called:Tales of

SoldiersTales of CiviliansTales From Can Such Things Be?Extracts from The Devil's DictionaryRather than

presenting myself as a well-rounded individual, it is my desire to establish myself as an internet expert on the

intellectual use of udder pus as a metaphor. Many of the selections in the Devil's Dictionary in this volume relate to

politics. I think udder pus relates to politics in ways that are best illustrated by an analysis of the first story in my

copy:A Horseman In The Skywhich takes place on a sunny afternoon in the autumn of 1861 in western Virginia. The

guard by the road has joined the Union army and trying to keep Confederate forces from discovering an advance of

federal forces. He shoots the horse that his father sat on at the top of a cliff. The horse dropped dramatically over the

edge with the father still sitting on it: "Its motions were those of a wild gallop, but even as the officer looked they

ceased, with all the legs thrown sharply forward as in the act of alighting from a leap."People who make soy milk

would like consumers to believe that somewhere there is a cow that is sick enough to produce 30 percent udder pus in

the milk that Americans would drink. I looked for nutrition facts on udder pus to see if there is some indication of how

much the nutritional value of milk would change. The information did not show up, as if no one would even think

about drinking udder pus. I don't suppose that people who produce milk now have taste testers who are trained to see if

the amount of udder pus in milk is affecting its flavor. I bought fat free half and half this year, which seemed like a

much better alteration of a normal food product to put udder pus in, if a food producer actually engaged in that kind of

choice, but decisions like that are certain to be a trade secret.My father did not play a lot of secrecy games with me,

but he was a German Reformed Church minister, sort of quick to become E R to hide the German origin of his

American church population, and then quick to form the United Church of Christ to become part of a larger identity.

Church and government function well as godly money sponge institutions when the money which they receive is spent

in a way which increases God's glory. Politics has become the udder pus portion of the population when it considered

along party lines. Membership in a single party might drop to the percent level of udder pus in the milk from a sick

cow when the ad startegy of a political campaign is more like udder pus than the milk of human kindness.Ambrose

Bierce had figured so many things out, it is almost surprising that he lived so long before thermonuclear weapons and

children of the people who killed JFK.

About the AuthorAmbrose Bierce was an American writer, critic and war veteran. Bierce fought for the Union Army

during the American Civil War, eventually rising to the rank of brevet major before resigning from the Army

following an 1866 expedition across the Great Plains. Bierce s harrowing experiences during the Civil War,

particularly those at the Battle of Shiloh, shaped a writing career that included editorials, novels, short stories and

poetry. Among his most famous works are An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, The Boarded Window, Chickamauga,

and What I Saw of Shiloh. While on a tour of Civil-War battlefields in 1913, Bierce is believed to have joined Pancho

Villa s army before disappearing in the chaos of the Mexican Revolution.
