We don't enough talk here of Rhetoric, the soul of any good communication. This morning, Peter Schramm has crafted two clauses worth sharing.

I saw a lot of such personages this weekend (as always) on the Sunday morning talk shows. Schramm also writes of another speaker,

A snapper-up of unconsidered triffles; the low and the incomplete: isn't that great stuff?!


Speaking of Rhetoric, I've been reading E. Charles Vivian's Robin Hood. Great stuff!
