Guilty as Charged
I am guilty of doing this at least once a day. I suppose that means that I am as much of a cliched hack as I thought I was.
The 5 Most Overused Expressions On The Internet:
"'Wow...just, wow.' NO, JUST NO. This is maybe the most annoying phrase in internet history. 'Wow...just wow,' is one of the laziest remarks you'll see in any comment section, because it requires no thought whatsoever while implying that the reader does, in fact, have several thoughts on whatever brought them to the brink of implied speechlessness. It is never 'wow, just wow.'"

This unpleasant idea was introduced by Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, and it leads me to a point that is worth underscoring: We do not have a problem with the American people, we have a problem with American women. Elizabeth Warren, our TARP supervisor, continues to ask questions about what we did with our government money; Mary Schapiro has used her authority at the S.E.C. to sue Goldman Sachs. Of the four Republican senators who crossed over to vote with the Democrats, two were women — and one of the guys posed naked for Cosmopolitan magazine."
