Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[schloss_1]

lee kramer-

If I am going to use a 50- cent word which, in my opinion colors up the board nicely, I try to use it in such a way that the reader does not have to resort to a dictionary. This takes considerable thought, but is the ultimate in courtesy, something I borrowed from Wiliam F. Buckley, the master of voluminous pastiches of trenchant dialogue.

For example, Buckley might say that, by and large, television's talking heads utter comments that are more specious than fact-based. Or perhaps that many of the examples proffered by these "tub-thumpers" are more trope than fact.

However, to spare your dictionary any further degradation, I will try to keep the wording in my posts more pedestrian, even
bordering on the mundane (hopefully without sinking to the level of inanity).
