I should be working on my submission for the write-on competition. Well, I was working on my case note, but I took a break and Ray pointed me to a George Orwell site, causing a significant detour.

Orwell is one of my favorite writers and, I believe, the greatest essayist I’ve ever read. (Well, Mencken and Twain do rank up there–can you tell I like a smart ass?)

Anyway, have you read, “Politics and the English Language“? You should.
