A Caustic Letter

October 30, 2009

Nice try Rex but save it for the judge. 

In an unrelated story, Californian President Arnold Schwarzenneger has shown grammatical dexterity, if not linguistic subtlety, in a letter to the motley club of girly men that passes for a legislature in that golden, if bankrupt, state. 

You can read the letter here

At the outset, Babbelon applauds the use of language,
carefully constructed pieces that play with a
reader’s mind, exercising a full range of faculties, beyond the
obvious and literal, opening the recipient up to the
sub-surface.  If an undercurrent is pulled across the warp of
the text, a resonance is produced that delights
intellectually.  To find such creative depth in political
California gives Babbelon hope for the word.

There is a name for the particular structure achieved by the Governator but it escapes Babbelon for the moment.  No doubt it will be back.
