snark; bad writing 

A line from a recent HuffPo article:

"The campaign to knock the wind out of Browder’s sails began to draw blowback as the political climate changed."

Wow. That must be some impressively quick climate change, if it knocked the wind of a sailing vessel.

Also, I'm pretty sure the term "blowback" is a reference to fire and/or gunpowder. So no wonder the Russians hate Bill Browder so much! He's motherfucking Blackbeard, apparently.

Sorry, inner editor needed a place to vent.
