I'm not saying that this DailyKos piece (DailyKos post: http://peekURL.com/zxZqGug ) is a work of fiction, but the curious punctuation above tends to give me that impression. The long quote above was transcribed from a slip of paper, but you'd think that whoever wrote it would express themselves without requiring the author's strange habit of using dashes. The long quote above also doesn't exactly read like it comes from highschooler, but was written by an adult dumbing down their writing style.
