A modest proposal
Advertisements [?]
Use of clichés in liberal opinion pieces should become an international crime. Tariffs will depend on the level of overuse of the reference in question. I propose the following guidelines to begin with:

Biblical References
The writing is on the wall - 3 years.

Hans Christian Andersen
The emperor has no clothes - 10 years.

The Wizard of Oz
I don't think we're in Kansas any more - 1 year.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain - death.

Alice in Wonderland
Any reference - 6 months.

This proposal is a work in progress. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
