My favorite oxymoron is "death benefit". Others are jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, and "that was interesting" used when something sucks. I don't get it, if something was not good, why would you be interested in more of it. If I'm interested I usually want to know more, BUT NOT IF IT SUCKED!!...

I do not like the "buts" added onto a sentence like
Dont get me wrong but.....
I dont want to sound patronising but....
I'm no racist but.......
I could be wrong but......
Another one I hate is They are all the same but different.
He is a young looking sixty year old.
Easy as pie...have you ever tried making a pie.
(Whilst excersising)This is easy I could do this all day....Yeah I bet you could.
Start the way you mean to finish.

Well he did have that funny Saturday night Live skit where he was a one man live remote and reporter. He had a satellite uplink dish on his head and everytime he turned his head too far, the image would fade out. That was the one and only time he made me laugh. Didn't he make a career out of hating Rush Limbaugh? I think they deserve each other.

Please keep your narrow, far-right political views off this web-site,thank you....also you kind-of lied in an earlier post when you said you busted your butt to send your kids to private religious school.....your kids all went (or will go to) public high school.

Hey Aquinasb, or whatever your name is. Since this was your first post It would be a good idea to introduce yourself to this MUSIC related web site using your real name instead of making a drive-by comment pointed at one of our most essential and well liked contributors.
We are a diverse group of musicians, songwriters and music industry professionals who have differing political views. But in the end we are friends who share a common purpose.
I think that looking up a members earlier posts to cite just for the sake of argument is deplorable and cowardly. Ben

Ben I think he posted on the wrong forum. I don't even know who he is refering to. This thread was all about humor.

Hi Joe, In the red bar at the top of his post it says Re: Lynn Orloff. It looks to me like he looked up a previous statement that she made on another forum to make an unmitigated attack.
I just wanted to let him/her know that their cheap shot was not welcome from a one time poster. If I am wrong then I apologize.
This makes "casual observer" an oxymoron. Ben

William F Buckley died yesterday. He was a bit of an oddball because he was an intellectual conserative. When he was at his zenith, he provided the intellectual horsepower that pushed the conserative agenda -the philosophical framework which inspired conseratives like Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. The left wing was puzzled because he argued like they did; and they couldn't believe he could be so persuasive, logical and passionate and still not be one of them! So, and you guessed it, to the left wing, an "intellectual conserative" was an oxymoron!

Hey Sam
I always enjoyed watching William F Buckley On political talk shows and the like. He was one of a Kind. Very smart guy, too.
Oh! Oxymorons?
How about

Bill, I think the left was confused because Buckley like to tease them to distraction. They would have liked to have called him a "moron" but they suspected that he might have been smarter than they were. I always felt he was smirking on one side of his face and winking on the other. Who knows, he was such a debater, he might have just chosen the conserative position for the fun of it.

Sam That is a great description of him smirking on one side of his face and winking on the other I can see him in my minds eye with that rumpled tie, leaning back in his chair with that smirk on his face.

I guess politics generate more than their share of oxymorons because now the press is calling the Tuesday primaries, with Texas and Ohio probably deciding the democratic candidate, "the "mini super Tuesday"

I just reread this post and in doing so came across a post from a so called "hammer" that said I said I in an earlier post said "I busted my butt" to send my kids to private school. If you read my original post I said "we sacrificed" meaning my husband and myself since No #1 - I don't talk like that and No #2 - besides being completely rude you are now making blanket statements that are completely false. It is a fact that my 3 children attended private school w/one of those children attending public school for his last two years of high school only. I suggest you get your facts straight or better yet get a life. Unlike you "hammer" I don't lie for a living. I have a soul and a conscience.
Thanks Ben you are a true gentlemen.

Hi Lynn
I've noticed this character ie Jerk has been following your posts and posting mean comments about your work (mostly just the word pathetic) I just wanted to let you know and I for one wish there was a way to ban him/her, but at the least know we are behind you 110 percent!

Thanks Derek and Beth also. I believe this is someone who is unhappy w/my political views and obviously unhappy with his life. I do thank you and I trust that he will be dealt with in a way that is appropriate. I'm a big girl and I believe in a big God.

If you notice "hammer" first posted with the name "aquinasb" and edited their post on 2/20 to change their name. I have gotten hate mail here in a PM, at my website, and my MySpace site from this person. Definitely a stalker. As Mr.T say's, "I pity the fool". Ben
