2. Drone said to another drone:

"What are you, a proctologist?"

I'll show myself out.

3. Its like "clean coal".

A bunch of bs to sell to the public, implying no civilians will be killed, etc.
Of course, shit goes wrong...often. There will be an "oops", and a page 14 apology 3 months later.

4. I was sure to I was going to be flamed for this thread.

But yes, my serious point was the Orwellian speak. It's rhetoric designed to calm the emotions. Because, lord knows, if you describe what actually happens, and they're not so surgical, then decent people would be opposed.

Remember "Clear Skies Initiative." Nothing was clear about it. Classic double-speak.

5. George Carlin on euphemisms

For some reason it just keeps getting worse....

6. I've seen that.

Thing is, he's fucking serious.

That's the beauty of it.
