If this meaningless filler constantly makes it into print, just imagine what the editors cut.

They do edit this stuff, right?

Strongly agree. It's like a bad talk radio host--think Marty Griffin--in print. Some writers learn how to write better as they age, others learn how to fill space better.

Ron was never a wordsmith but his recent work has suffered from working a full-time radio job and being spread too thin.
