* Why is every potential political hiccough given the suffix "-gate?" I mean, I know why, but why that suffix? There are lots of suffixes to choose from. For example, take the suffix "dome," as in "Teapot Dome." Then we would have "MonicaDome," "IranDome" "travelDome." You get the idea. They all sound pretty lame, don't they? Also, a word to the current news media- you cannot make something a scandal simply by adding the "gate" suffix. Putting the problems of the White House travel office in the same suffix category as a conspiracy to cover up a federal crime that went all the way to the oval office? Yeah, great idea. "Katrinagate?" "FEMAgate?" Give it a rest. (Although, go nuts with "Palmegate." I'll enjoy that.)
* Why is the Department of Defense still called "Defense?" Now we have homeland security. Make our country safer, protect it from danger. Now THAT'S defense! So shouldn't the department of defense be re-named the department of offense?
* Why hasn't the media picked up on the fact that we are re-living the ten plagues of Egypt? Let's see now- Hurrican Katrina caused the following:
the DEATH OF CATTLE, caused by the floods
tornados that brought down HAIL
power outages leaving people in DARKNESS
New Orleans transformed into a swamp, probably full of FROGS
corpses in the water? not far from a RIVER of BLOOD
Just last summer, in the mid-Atlantic states, the 17-year cycle of cicada's came around again. Aren't they LOCUST?
Darfur. Slaughter left and right, even of children. That takes care of SLAYING OF THE FIRST BORN.
You get the point. Only problem is, we have no idea who is supposed to let who go!
