William Safire Blogs -- political phrases

I recently saw and heard Wm Safire on C-Span.

I would like his observations on the topic of Compound Movement Names, such as National Socialist or Compassionate Conservative.

Did Hitler start the genre and Karl Rove damage it beyond repair?

Are such phrases intentionally oxymoronic -- encompassing mutually-exclusive ends of the spectrum?

Thanks,

Is it dangerous to be in bath tub if a implanted debibulator goes off?

My response:

There is NO danger from the defibrillator.

Not to get political but you should know that the only part of government that actually works is Dick Cheney's defibrillator.

Miley Ray

Nobody talks about Miley Ray's extended family.

Her father is Billy Ray.

Her mother is Martha Ray.

Her stepsister is Rachel Ray.

Her cousin is Norma Ray.

Her bodyguard is Sugar Ray.

Obama, repudiates ...

I get confused.

Did Obama repudiate Paula Abdul?

Or did Eliot Spitzer turn Mormon and move to Texas?

Dick Cheney - Fly Fishing

Here's the real scoop. Cheney is standing next to a nude woman and grabs his rod.

Despite his title, he's not skilled at vice.

If he was fly fishing, did he catch his fly?

Some say Cheney was fishing.

Some say he was looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Red Skelton Interprets the Pledge of Allegiance

Analysis:

1) The Pledge of Allegiance is actually a loyalty oath created after the Civil War. The key phrase is "one nation, indivisible". It was intended to exclude anyone who thinks that states might have the right to secede from the union.

2) Children as early as kindergarten are expected to recite the oath. Red Skelton thinks he knows what it means to pledge an oath to a flag, but 5 year olds can barely pronounce words like "allegiance".

Red Skelton apparently cited The Pledge 100s of times before anyone told him what it meant.

3) Mennonites, like Dad, are anabaptists. I thought that meant "against baptism". It actually means they object to children being baptised BEFORE they are mature enough to have the intelligence to consciously decide that they want to be baptised.

If you follow the logic, anabaptists would object to immature children pledging allegiance, with or without the phrase "under God".

Makes sense?
