Mr. Kimball,

I’ll take this thin opportunity, because it’s on my mind, to tell you about style and the harm it’s doing to the message you happen to be dispensing today.

“Colloqies”, “mendacity”, all that seems like normal post-degree journalistic gymnastics to you, and I appreciate this sort of thing for what it is. It’s kind of fun.

Problem is, you’re diluting your message in the name of verbosity, an exercise neither moral nor immoral in itself but which manifests itself in the form of wasted communication opportunities, and does so far too regularly for my liking.

If we could all speak a LITTLE MORE CLEARLY when we speak publicly, perhaps more people would come to fully understand.

Obama is earnest and PHONY, FAKING concern over phony issues. His impassioned speeches are LIES, and he is a ‘menteur’ as the French say, a LIAR.

Even the best of us speak past our issues a lot of the time. Speak RIGHT AT THEM for a change.

Okay, I feel better.
