Going forward......
Going forward, blah, blah, blah, blah, going forward. Blah, blah, blah, blah, going forward. Going forward, going forward, going forward.

Have you noticed all of the talking heads in media, government and business are all using this phrase, ad nauseum?
WTF? Is there some kind of beam emitted from a central tower somewhere that programs these people to all talk the same?

Do we have to hear it a thousand times a day? It's like psychological torture or something.

It's like they've become the Knights on the Teevee who say "Going Forward", (Formerly known as the Knights on the Teevee who say "disingenuous".). Next thing we know, they'll be demanding we bring them shubbery.

GAW!!!!

Dave

Frankly, at the end of the day we should have a paradigm shift.

were it not for F1, Moto GP (and a few other disciplines of international motorsport), NCAA basketball, Through the Wormhole, 30Rock, and The Soup, I'd rarely, if ever turn on a television. I view the occasional episode of The Piers Morgan show, as well.

Also, anyone not watching The Daily Show and Colbert Report during the run up to and through this national election year is missing some seriously clever and hilarious stuff.
