No thanks necessary. There's all too much of the huff and puff going on
these days. I might even get caught up in it except that I have a very
close, highly respected, family friend who supports the candidate that I
don't, and we've had quite a few rousing but still respectful
discussions about who's likely to be the winner and/or best President.
We still don't agree but we're still friends, regardless.
I know it was not literally your pun, but all the other responders
seemed more interested in ignoring it and going for the huff and puff,
so I highlighted it for those too dense or caught up with themselves to
notice it. We'll probably never know who first coined it, but if I had
to choose a scapegoat, I would nominate Spider Robinson. I always enjoy
his punny stories (short SF, Callahan's Bar Series).

thanks for saving your huff & puff, Phil.
btw it's not MY pun; I repeated it here because I recently saw it here,
claimed as someone's 'original'. well, it might have been original, but
it
sure wasn't the first time it was original - google for either and find
them
together.
