current mood: geeky
I'm guessing that Sarah Palin's resignation meandering (I wouldn't call it a speech) was written by her without much editing. I printed it out, gave it to my daughter and wife to read, and then sat back for the reaction.
And then I thought, "Wow, that's bad writing. That's a length of bad writing that is rare to be so widely read. Is there anything to compare it to?"
Well, of course there is. And if you know anything about SF fandom in North America, you'll probably guess before you click on that link.
Read 'em and weep (PDF). Don't worry: it's only the first two pages of a side-by-side comparison. You can probably create your own. Or hold reading competitions: who breaks down first?
