Campaign contributions: O'Quinn gives Bell a boost (Kelley Shannon, AP)
Buoyed by a big-dollar donor and a favorable debate performance, Democrat Chris Bell began airing more television ads today as he tried to surge through a new momentum in the Texas governor's race.
I really shouldn't be surprised any more by some of the truly bad copy turned out by professional writers AND editors in the field of journalism, but I am nonetheless.

I need to find a momentum I can surge through.

The WSJ print edition had a HEADLINE yesterday about employees being LAYED OFF. I haven't yet recovered.

The momentum I have is still good for another few months before I need some new momentum.

Surge through a new momentum?
I wonder how that can even be written, unless there was a misunderstood unclarity of word meanings.
(That was purposeful.)
PS: I haven't been back to your blog for too long. It's shameful, really. I always enjoyed your danger train posts... I'll do better.
