It's amazing how some folks will read a piece with asterisks instead of the letters, even when the word remains obvious. People are weird.

I can see the necessity on the comics page, but we're adults and know damn well what is intended. As Carlin said, "Twat's twat and that's that". He had it right about language. Why can't you say "twat", but you can say "hoochie"? Why can't you say "tits" but you can say "hooters"? Why can't you say "cock" or "cunt", but you can (actually) get away with using "penis" and "vagina"? You can say "testicles" but not "nuts" or "balls". Everybody knows what the synonyms mean. Well, apparently it took the teabaggers a while to comprehend what their self-imposed collective name meant.
