Alex criticizes Palin for using incomplete sentences, then does the same thing himself. And in doing so, he conveniently forgets that "incomplete sentences" are a common literary device, often used for emphasis. For example: "He told her that he would never leave her. Ever."

And his point about "civil disobedience" seems to show a lack of understanding of the use of metaphor. In Palin's context, "civil disobedience" clearly meant that the gun purchase was "politically incorrect," not literally illegal. And he confuses the two meanings of "civil," one of which means "social" or "relating to law" and the other means "polite."

If that is the best he has, he has nothing. Alex is the typical product of our time: over-schooled and under-educated.

Or “You can keep your insurance. Period.”

I had to take a look at his blog. Lots of blog posts on all of his wedding planning, and having mason jars in the decoration theme. He was considering inviting a blog reader to the wedding, based on a photo of the lucky winner’s butt.

And I thought things in Seattle were goofy.
