Quote of the Day - Island Naming
David Amulet always has great satirical writing over at his blog, so its no surprise that I’ve snagged today’s Quote of the Day from one of his posts. Here’s the setup: a new island has formed in the South Pacific and there’s some speculation about what to name it. After giving us some funny options, he ends the post with this gem:
“In other words, although it’s getting much attention for its sudden arrival, the island shouldn’t get too cocky. It has a moment in the sun, sure, but a lack of growth and productivity may seal its doom. In a couple of years, the islet may fade into history without much ado.
So let’s just call it Democratic control of Congress.”
Genius! What a great build up and then to end it on such a great line… brilliant. Too bad he’s right though. After I laughed out loud, I cried a little.
I’m just gonna think positive. KEEP HOPE ALIVE!
ngregory00: I guess I can try. It’s getting damn hard though.
Thanks for the flattering comments. In retrospect, I should have made the line about Donald Rumsfeld’s tenure!
