Not as annoying as her supposed legal analysis ... total gibberish
She writes much worse than this in the legal field. Her "legal" articles in Card Player are real half-baked gibberish ... especially when she starts in on legislative analysis.

Re: Do you find this paragraph in CardPlayer annoying?
U - I agree with you but was actually more interested in the concept of performing a feat of irony. Can that be done?
What about something that is indeed ironic would make it a feat that could be performed? The fact that someone would think that he/she could perform a feat of irony strikes me as...well, ironic! (And on that note I'm going to bed because this has gotten much too heavy).

Alanis Morrissette and irony.
I once heard a comic ripping her song "Isn't it Ironic" to shreds. It was hilarious. A highlight:
"The line, 'it's like a traffic jam, when you're already late'... that not ironic. That's just poor planning and bad luck. Now, it would be ironic if you were a city planner, on your way to a meeting with other city planners to discuss the traffic problem in your city. That would be ironic." I'm not fully convinced that it would indeed be ironic if this were the case, though. Any thoughts? There's a fine line between irony and coincedence. It was still funny tho. Regards, all_aces

Re: Alanis Morrissette and irony.
No, the deal with the traffic planners would be fitting; neither irony nor poetic justice.
It would be ironic if a city planner, on the way to a meeting to discuss the success of his attempts to alleviate traffic problems, got stuck in a traffic jam.

What would've been truly ironic would be him busting out overplaying that hand, or being eliminated by a player who held that hand.
