Ok, here's a challenge. Our Tory friends find it implausible that political messages can be imparted through inference. Perhaps that's why GOP ads are as subtle as a fart in a phonebooth.
I spot at least three big unstated premises and/or conclusions in this ad from Wesley Clark & Co. Anybody see more? 3000 bonus points if you can write the syllogism in haiku.
