Transparently obvious: a rant.

 Hey, what's with all this transparently obvious stuff people keep mentioning?

I mean, if it's transparent then obvious is the last thing it is.

Duh...

(Sorry, couldn't find a picture that showed anything...)

Word To Use Sensibly Today: transparent. The Latin version of this word was transpārēre, to show through, from trans-, across, through, beyond, and pārēre, to appear.
