Just saw this in an Instapundit comment thread. What's wrong?
Way I always heard it, the side that makes the least mistakes, wins the war.
This is why "Commas mark pauses" is a bad rule.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.

ReplyDeleteI'm staying out of this one--above my pay grade.
