Sam Hell

[Mark Mandel]

>From a friend's blog, part of an apostrophe to politicians:

Before any of you tell us, we huddled masses yearning to be able to afford
> the basics of daily living, how to live, I want to see you do it right now.
> On the same salaries, or lack thereof, we folks in the trenches are dealing
> with right now.
>
> Otherwise how in the Sam Hell can *you* decide policy for the rest of us?
> Gentlemen and Ladies, if *you* can't do it and survive, how the Hell can you
> expect us to?
>

As lagniappe, notice the apposition to "us" of "we huddled masses yearning
to...".
