Can't get even the most basic things straight, eh Weil? It looked like a
salamander, and was created by a guy named Gerry. Hence, "Gerrymander".

Actually, the redistricting that gave "Gerrymandering" its name
occured in Massachusetts in 1812, not Tennessee. Weil's talking about
a different redistricting.

Well, yes. It's pretty clear to anyone who has a passing acquaintance
with the English language.

Good observation. It confirms what I've long suspected -- that Turdy
