We Diagram

Those of you who skipped today's class missed an enthralling introduction to sentence diagramming. Whether you were there or not, you may be interested in this article, published today, which applies sentence diagramming to the current presidential campaign (thanks, Kevin Davis, for sending this to me).

Though I haven't listened to Palin's previous interviews in their entirities,I have heard other people say more or less that she screwed up big time. While this article does poke fun at here poor grammar usage incessently, I'm glad that it atleast mentions most people in her place would have been nervous themselves and could have just as easily made some of the same mistakes.

I'd rather have someone in office who is nervous and determined to try and make a good impression because they are firm in what they believe in, opposed to someone who is sleazy and can spout poetic lines at the drop of a hat.

That should read "her" not "here". Sorry. I'm exhausted.
