Talk about colour
Barbara Kay's column in today's National Post (subscription required) proves she's the undisputed champion of using metaphors and imagery to illustrate a point:
The prospects have old separatist warhorses chomping at the bit. They've been immured these past 10 years in the dank stable block of their dream palace, morosely masticating 1995's mouldy ideological hay. Suddenly, their ears are pricked to distant bugle blasts heralding renewed battle.
She also apparently likes to force her readers to keep a dictionary within reaching distance.
