I love just how eloquent Jon is in his commentary on statements. Like, obviously he’s a) very educated and b) trying to be professional, but there are times when he starts getting all poetic.

“In many ways the Slaughter fascinates me. There seems to be, in all cases, a question at its heart about control. Is it a mindless dance, dragging participants along by the beat of a drum, or is there a kernel of will in there, lucidity and deliberateness to the random fury and violence? I suppose that’s the question with so much of violence, war. How much are you really in command of yourself, or others?” (MAG 125)

Of course he’s only talking to himself here (not thinking about it as work) but that makes it funnier. Like, he’s just chatting to himself. It’s his inner monologue. He’s so dramatic.
