Diuretic
Permanently confused
But, now you're saying I'm unreasonable. All I'm saying is that any useful message the article may contain is obliterated by its terminal cuteness. You and I have discussed this before, I think, Diuretic. You simply cannot appreciate the vicious and all-encompassing nature of liberalism's domination over the dissemination of information in this country in the last century. I, on the other hand, am quite sensitive to it. If a journalist wishes to convey a "message" to me, he'd better just talk straight.
You picked up the "reasonable reader" bit eh? Doesn't it piss you off when someone does that? No-pne likes to think of themselves as "unreasonable" (although they should, according to G.B.Shaw). But I still think you aren't admitting the difference between reportage and opinion. I read leaders in the WSJ and have difficulty suppressing my gag response but when I read an article in the WSJ I expect to read straight reportage.
