Talking In Circular Points
NP: Chevelle, This Kind Of Thinking Will Do Us In
Okay, I'm no master of the English language, but I think I'm at least reasonably good with words. Most of the time. And that goes for reading as well as writing. However, I must point to this post from leftie blogger Josh Marshall, and this passage in particular:
I would be less than candid if I didn't say that Frost isn't the candidate I'd most like to see win this, though I'm trying to keep an open mind. But he's by no means the least either.
Content aside -- as I don't really give a rat's ass who runs the DNC, as that's their problem -- I honestly can't parse this. I've tried. Really. Three negatives, two relational negatives (is there really no opposite of "superlative"? Synonym.com doesn' think so) and a positive. That's just downright masturbatory.
