Barbudo is it? I do not write composition driven pieces. The Sentinel has plenty of dedicated columnists and reporters for that. I use a highly stylized technique which often draws from prose and rhetoric to try and capture a speech pattern or even thought process. I make plenty of mistakes but I am not afraid of “Black-English” and employ slang, euphemisms, broken sentence structure, liberal punctuation form and cursing to make my point. I am an everyday guy and write that way. My overwrought use of ellipsis should be a tell.
Laura Bush rooting for Mrs. Obama is Satire. Unfortunately you’ve written an entire treatise demonstrating your lack of understanding this fact. Personally I would’ve kept that to myself but hey, get in where you fit in. This particular Blog borrows a 16th & 17th century playwright technique of farce which puts ordinary people into ridiculous circumstances. Like, how the hell would I know about a “room” in the White House or if Laura has a friend called Clare? No sir (?) this was a dramatized way for a man to convey a woman’s POV regarding salient facts: Her husband is incompetent and she knows it; Michelle Obama is as highly qualified as Hillary Clinton; and the Republican attacks on women are often as misogynistic and damaging as many claim our rappers to be…and any woman close to it can see that. What is suspiciously absent from your fastidious seizure is any argument about Republican tactics. Thus we must conclude that you are employing the Neo-Con strategy of muddying the facts to change the argument.
I dunno. Maybe it was too subtle for you. This can be remedied by a good bottom shelf whisky or a bag of Vernon weed. As for composition rules you wrote, “He continues the sentenes with…”
Spellcheck is everywhere. You spent a great deal of time on this so I’m not sure what you meant. I have checked. The word “sentenes” is not in my sixth grade pocket dictionary. In singular or plural form.
