The usual purpose is to inform readers that any errors or apparent errors in the copied material are not from transcription—that they are reproduced exactly from the original writer or printer. <b>A bracketed sic may also be used as a form of ridicule</b> or as a humorous comment, typically by drawing attention to the original writer's mistakes.</i><br /><br />Typical Leftist tactic.

IMO, being President is incredibly demanding, and they deserve any time off they can manage. According to factcheck.org--I think it was them--Obama's vacation time is in line with all other recent Presidents, and considerably less than Bush's--<i>adjusted for relative time served.</i> I'm not so stupid that I would compare three years to eight, Bob.wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646675016431046350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30969459.post-5223643675786705772011-11-07T07:49:59.277-05:002011-11-07T07:49:59.277-05:00@wally: He's only served three years so far, W...@wally: He's only served three years so far, Walt. Bush served a full eight.
