Quote of the Day...
Jan. 2nd, 2003 03:33 pm"Setting aside a college professor or two and half a dozen dipsomaniacal newspaper reporters, (Warren Harding) takes first place in my Valhalla of literati. That is to say, he writes the worst English I have ever encountered. It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean-soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It drags itself out of the dark abysm of pish, and crawls up to the topmost pinnacle of tosh."
