Why do people from MI, OH, NJ, and PA move down here? Turn on the weather channel.

And the interesting converstaion would be why is it that the Metro area, with the great majority of the population and economic actvity, jobs, etc., does not have more say with the boys at the capital.

I agree about George Will’s lack of comprehensible writing. I’ve always thought of him as poor man’s (or maybe a dumb rich man’s) William F. Buckley. Unfortunately, he never seemed to learn that you have to have some logic and flow behind those big words. Now, if we want to talk about conservative wags that can’t write we can easily point to the AJC’s Wooten. He may be the worst writer I’ve ever come across in a major daily. He writes that bullet point “column” on Friday’s that never makes sense. And his other columns never progress beyond bullet point arguments at best. I’m pretty sure that I don’t agree with much that he has to say, but I can’t ever finish reading his column to really know – I get tired of trying to re-read the first paragraphs to figure out what the heck he’s saying and then I have to quit.

Is it just me or does anybody else think that George Will is an absolutely horrendous writer? His sentences are peppered with so many parenthetical phrases and pseudo intellectual meanderings it gets to the point where it’s almost impossible to make out what he’s arguing for or against.
