You know it's time for a change when you hear that Kerry and Edwards
both wrote their own riveting, galvanizing acceptance speeches at the
Democratic National Convention,

Nonsense. If they did, they compared notes beforehand. Both speeches used the
same deliberate devices, some of which were not so subtle.

Two brothers "accidentally" show up for Thanksgiving dinner wearing exactly the
same wild tie? Not likely.


And speaking of mangling the language, can you believe the following is
presented as a single sentence?

You know it's time for a change when you hear that Kerry and Edwards
both wrote their own riveting, galvanizing acceptance speeches at the
Democratic National Convention, heartfelt and effective rhetoric that
gives you hope not for the quality of polished oratory but for
genuine, refreshing political intellect, and verbal acumen, as you
offer deep thanks that at least some politicians can still speak
coherently and cogently without mangling the goddamn language at every
adjectival clause.

We do, however, agree on the subject line. :-)
