Another good catch... ...by Moira

Another good catch...

...by Moira Breen. Moira says everything that needs to be said about this remarkable set of consecutive paragraphs from a Reuters article on the recent study that found that "globalization has helped the poor." But here they are anyway, since I can't resist:

In a foreward that broadly endorses the report's conclusions, Commission president Romano Prodi distances the Commission from some parts of the report, saying it could not concur with all the study's analysis.

"In many respects, the findings will prove controversial, at least to those outside the circle of professional economists, contradicting as they do certain deeply held beliefs about the negative consequences of globalization," Prodi wrote.


I'm afraid I have no answer to the questions: "whence this bozosity?" and "whither this bozosity?" Just glad to have the new word in my vocabulary.
