From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2007-01-29:

"All the difficulties of the original are here faithfully reproduced. A sentence begins quite simply, then it undulates and expands, parentheses intervene like quick-set hedges, the flowers of comparison bloom, and three fields off, like a wounded partridge, crouches the principal verb, making one wonder as one picks it up, poor little thing, whether after all it was worth such a tramp, so many guns, and such expensive dogs, and what, after all, is its relation to the main subject, potted so gaily half a page back, and proving finally to have been in the accusative case." -- E. M. Forster, discussing the writing style of Marcel Proust.

Okay, this is not exactly the progression I had expected in Republican examples of people named 'Joe' whose values to follow:

• Joe Sixpack,
• Joe the Plumber, and now
• Joe McCarthy

(Note: not from McCain/Palin -- another Republican.)

Now, is this someone who failed to learn her history and accidentally stumbled in the direction of repeating it, or someone who did learn from history and really wants to repeat it?

( After Joe Sickpack and Joe the Plumber, a Republican's now evoking another Joe... )
