Useless Eggheads

My favorite new Republican talking point is the appalled outrage that a member of Kerry's staff referred to the War on Terror as a...gasp...metaphor. Can you believe these sissified Democrats living in their pre 9/11 dreamworlds? A metaphor?

Obviously, this is just another example of the reality based community clinging to outmoded notions of the literal meaning of words. And America is weaker for it.

We will defeat terror. It shall not stand. Terror will be vanquished from the earth. Anyone who doesn't agree is a loser. Let freedom rain. And I mean that literally.
