Buckley: <br /><br />“Perhaps I misread Mr. Buckley, not being a lexicographer. If I understand him – and frequently I do not – national service, morphologically speaking, is apodictically not a mere millenarian velleity or synecdoche exiguously reified as antinomian meliorism by exogenous Ortega y Gasset epigones with their conflated burins. At least, I certainly hope not! But be prepared for these and similar terms when you tackle Mr. Buckley's text.”<br /><br />Except Mr Will hasn’t had a new idea since 1975, and isn't such a fancy writer, for anyone who has graduated high school. He just stands up for whatever is wrong, over and over.Johannes der Tauchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-49810829529435262432011-10-28T08:30:22.166-04:002011-10-28T08:30:22.166-04:00Uh, yes, thanks, I'm aware of that.Uh, yes, thanks, I'm aware of that.Peteykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960842777164948590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-84763299073177700612011-10-28T07:32:15.428-04:002011-10-28T07:32:15.428-04:00min·a·to·ry /ˈmɪnəˌtɔri, -ˌtoʊri/ Show Spelled ...min·a·to·ry /ˈmɪnəˌtɔri, -ˌtoʊri/ Show Spelled [min-uh-tawr-ee, -tohr-ee] adjective menacing; threatening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-24294466969752082342011-10-28T06:20:32.485-04:002011-10-28T06:20:32.485-04:00I literally just read all those, pardon the pun, W...I literally just read all those, pardon the pun, Will-ful words in our local paper this morning.<br /><br />It was like the newsprint version (how quaint!) of chalk screeching across an old fashioned blackboard. Good grief, George Will, spare us from some words. Like. Your. Own.<br /><br />@sfmike - I typically would not have made it all the way through, but the words about words were just so awful that once I started, I could not stop. It was like a bad episode of too much drinking. I feel lousy now.
