[stylist] Thursday Word: roorback

[Bill Outman]

Well that's interesting that you thought of that.  

There is an actual member of Congress whose name is close to that.  

Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican,  currently represents a district in
California.  

It's funny how I instantly thought of him when this word came up.  

Hmmm. What's in a name?  

Perhaps that says something about my sense of humor.

Here's another that could easily be a character's surname. Preston Roorback
felt compelled to invent the wildest untruths about his opponents. Also,
this is another that Spell Check doesn't recognize, inviting me to change it
to "razorback." So, sports teams hold a higher priority with MS than words
that provide insight into the political process?
