Is this the Promised Zest?

Today I've gone forth to do battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. I have been formidable and crusty. Spent the morning composing a letter to my fellow condo complex residents against the dishonest power-grab of the rogue homeowner association board, and in support of the board-in-exile.

The pen is mightier than the sword, and hell hath no fury like a woman whose condo dues are being wasted by strutting males with penile size insecurity issues.
