The Tawdry Apostrophe (Extended Metaphor) Part 5 Comments

Mr. Housiaux: I rather like this. The tone is faux-epic and therefore doesn't take itself too awfully seriously. Reminded me a little of Virgil, arms and the man I sing, and so forth. But the message is clear: in politics we often play by rules that a) have become second-nature to us, b) we rarely question, and c) make virtually no sense when we try to explain them to an outsider. In fact, in times of emergency our leaders seem empowered to make up the rules as they go along. So the faux epic style seems to fit, because the message is truly larger than a mere fuss over an elevated, antigravitational comma. Many thanks! -G
