Commenter Of The Day: Oxfordian Edition

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

The debate over who wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare has been debated for centuries, and while many scholars today consider it a dead letter, many learned folk still believe the true author of "Hamlet" was Edward de Vere, the 17th Duke of Oxford. Despite a battering amount of evidence to the contrary, the rank of devoted Oxfordians include former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens among others. Whether it was Shakespeare or de Vere, every author can benefit from the occasional rewriting and updating, as commenter Irishman72 so ably showed today in noting Chrysler's change of attitude toward the Sebring, the Guildenstern of its stable.

Robert Nardelli, to the assembly :

Friends, Romans, dealerships, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Sebring, not to praise it;
The crapcans that men build live after them,
The awesome cars oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Sebring ... The noble Sergio
Hath told you Sebring was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Sebring answered it.
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Sebring,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
