what if they phrased it like a rhetorical question?

Like, ‘I care less.’ Silently emphasizing, ‘but would I?’.

“I could care less about movies.”

“So, you care a great deal?”

Give it up, Rich. I realized a long time ago that I had better pick another pet peeve than people saying “I couldn’t care less” wrong. Either that or go crazy. 95% of folks say it the wrong way. It’s a lost cause, I’m afraid.

All this talk about MOBY DICK makes me want re-read MOBY DICK.

I could care less about movies. Give me 300 pages of Melville describing how to render whale blubber on the high seas!

The bones are saying it is going to be a long, hard Fall. It usually is, but this year, more so.

hmmm…there’s something very ‘odd’ about that erect picture of that sperm whale with everything that’s going on in that picture.

I wonder what the story is with the artist on it?

I don’t find it at all surprising that someone whose knowledge of comics comes entirely from Mark Millar would think that a “graphic novel sensibility” means stripping away all meaning and symbolism in favor of empty-headed action.

You also have to love the poetry; here comics have been running roughshod over the term “widescreen” for nearly a decade, and the second Hollywood catches on, they return the favor.
