The Flip Flop Girl

"Closing Strong" and "Stay the Course" What a Bunch of Baloney!
Hello World, this is The Flip Flop Girl, friend of libertine and liberal alike.

So, we meet again. It is Election Day in the United States. What does that mean to you? Well, it could mean a little less hostility coming from the current US government if we get enough Democrats to tilt all this funny business towards a more balanced playing field. Politics is definitely a very funny business. But there is such a thing as serving your country. Too bad more people don't take that seriously. Lucky for all of us, some do. So, what did Dubya sputter today regarding the election? "We are closing strong!" More mangled use of the language. All we can do is smile and nod and hope this election will neuter him. Oh, and then there is that other more menacing and troublesome catch phrase: "Stay the Course." No mangling of the language here. That does mean something. But did you hear that the official line from the White House is that they won't use that slogan anymore because it is seems to have become tainted. People have heard it too often and now it makes them want to throw up. But, in actuality, there is no change in the war policy so the White House will indeed "stay the course" without calling it that. You've heard the phrase, "Throw the Bums Out," haven't you?
