The “Letter of the Day” in today’s Minneapolis Star
Tribune deserves a gold star. Not just that it tried to put an end to Minnesota’s
clueless Michele Bachmann, but also its use of adverbs is a show stopper.
Raise your hands, kids, as I am, if you’re tired — and I mean nauseatingly, obnoxiously, relentlessly, endlessly, irrefutably, undoubtedly, uncompromisingly, angrily, insanely, regardlessly, intemperately, irrevocably, miserably and even eternally tired — of hearing anything at all on the face of the earth about U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann again.
Of course, even as I write the final word of this letter, there will be a heartfelt but clueless defense appearing in the paper defending this lady regardless of her astounding number of absurd gaffes and other transgressions that make supporting her, let alone ever voting for her, an act that defies whatever common sense there is available to human beings.
GREG VAN HEE, Perham, Minn.
In contrast to Mississippi’s famous authors, Minnesota’s tend to be a bit more obviously serious. It goes with the Northern European culture. But Mr. Van Hee stepped out of the tradition on this one. The next letter took a different slant, but not quite as colorfully. You can see for yourself.
