Acrostic: When the first letters of successive lines are arranged either in alphabetical order (= abecedarian) or in such a way as to spell a word.
Too many ideas are floated in public without appropriate forethought.
Reckless assertion-making makes the future even more uncertain.
Useless information fogs and obscures the rhetorical landscape.
Time and time again I waste time rummaging for facts in the media clutter.
How many crazy, nutty, silly ways can
truth
be moved from the
center
to the
margin?
