Someone get an English teacher for this cretin. An OLD English teacher. What a tangled-up, turgid piece of prose: comma-crammed and constipated with dependent clauses that serve nothing for the reader that good flush of Ex Lax wouldn't cure.

Don't tell me; let me guess. Ivy League graduate?

It was an awkward read, wasn't it?

I read it aloud to my wife...and, several times, had to pause to consider what was meant by what I'd just said.

No, not Ivy League. David Sirota is a Northwestern grad, with degrees in journalism (!) and political science.
