Zandar's Thought Of The Day

Irony isn't just dead, it's been tossed into the furnace and used to power drivel like this in today's USA TODAY:

Obama's word play

The administration has created a lexicon that masks reality through the gauzy world of euphemism. To the world, it’s just words.

This opener courtesy of Jonah Goldberg, the same Jonah Goldberg who wrote a book called Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning, arguably one of the most pointlessly vapid screeds ever to sully the world of publishing, in which Goldberg tries to prove every Democrat since Woodrow Wilson was in fact a terrible, freedom-hating fascist -- basically by A) declaring any Democrat who ever attempted to use government to accomplish anything must in fact be a terrible, freedom-hating fascist, and B) pretty much ignoring every nasty deed the Republican Party committed over the last 80 years.

This, then, is the man who accuses the President of being "morally tone-deaf".

Ahh irony, how I'll miss you. And does anybody at USA TODAY proofread this crap before it goes out?
