a post rounding the circle with a point in the middle.
The lead sentence From A Washington Post
story about the Suicide Car Bomber of the Day in Baghdad:
"They saw the vehicle first, a blue Malibu, rounding the circle with the golden statue of Iraqi poet Marouf Resafi standing majestically in the middle."
Did anyone else (particular you professional editor-types) read that and think the guy had a golden statue of a poet in the middle of the car, like on the hood or roof?
That'd be like 10,000 points for style, but -20,000 for blowing people up.
