Kirk Kuykendall has a good overview on Common Table Expressions

http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/CTE/62291/

but his conclusion contains a "new db term"
(at least I had never seen it before)...

"As you can see CTEs can be very useful. I have found them particularly
handy when cleaning up demoralized tables. Like imported spread sheets."

I assume it was on purpose and couldn't resist passing it on.
We've all been there...

I just thought of how demoralizing it can be sometimes
to work with data that isn't normalized -- and what a
clever way of putting it...

Oh, it is indeed! Have to wonder if the person writing it saw the
"incorrection" , chuckled, and thought "Ok, if it's good enough for Microsoft
it's good enough for me!"
 
just for the record...

I was scoffing at the state I live in
(What's the Matter With Kansas)
not your witty comment George.
