Ye gods ... is today 'international bad writing day'? In addition to examples below (and several others which I have passed over) comes this muddled bit of turgidity from the Canada Free Press (which isn't a print newspaper, I don't think). Inter alia is some ClassCon of sorts:

And topping off this offer of more than just desserts, we find these despoiling mendicants must be given wages higher than our own citizens and that they cannot be fired for anything less than ‘just cause’ while we, the taxpayers burdened with the mortgage on these haughty contracts, can still be terminated for any trifling thing.

But they dare not call this sell-out ‘amnesty.’

Oh, these sleek fat senators rival anything the halls of Rome have ever offered. For never had Cassius, Croesus nor Antony ever dared proffer emoluments to non-citizens greater than those offered to their countrymen.

But the US Senate has far eclipsed the worst of Rome in decadence. Only Nero, Caligula, and maybe Tiberius might be welcomed as brothers by the outrageously profligate brotherhood of Reid, McCain and Specter, who are eagerly, greedily spilling our life’s blood on the ground to be lapped up by the heated trespassers.


We realllllllllllly need a Latin equivalent for WTF? ... [Croesus for Crassus?]
