Just maybe some piddly little Sandy deaths

I know a lot of Virginians,  and they don't talk this way. Just the politicians.

"...  no injuries so far and no fatalities of any significance," Governor Bob McDonnell told the electric teevee this morning.

Try it like this, Governor Bob. "No one hurt or killed yet."  You're just not ready for words of two or more syllables.

They use big words believing that the great unwashed will be impressed.

(reverend?) Jesse Jackson is famous for using a $5 word where a $0.50 word will do.

The nice thing about this tendency is that they usually self-identify as idiots fairly quickly so I can start ignoring them that much faster.

think one of the reasons Chris Christie is popular is his willingness to speak English -- even though it's often that strange New Jersey dialect thereof.
