Last night, while talking about Mitt Romney's new education plan, we mentioned a clever example of alliteration Mr. Romney presented to a class full of elementary students: Dogs drive Douglas dizzy.
Clever, unless of course it reminds you of Mitt Romney's history of putting the family dog on the roof of a car during long vacation drives, even after the dog got sick.
Then, it gets an "F" as in: a total "Fail."
To avoid such pitfalls in the future, we're asking you for advice on alliteration Mitt Romney should avoid at all cost. Here are some examples:
Cute Kids with Crew Cuts
Fundraising with friends in finance is fun
Making millions isn't making much.
Cadillacs are cars too
Poor people, please pay the price.
Students struggling to stay in school? So sorry.
Obama opines other options to outsourcing.
Trump & Taitz taint the truth.

Oh, you *know* I'm photoshopping that one.
Mitt's mendacity makes me mad.
Just to be pedantic for a moment--bc its fun--: "Obama opines outsourcing..." is an example of assonance, not alliteration.
To be severely pedantic <G>, "Obama opines other options to outsourcing" is an example both of assonance and alliteration.
Per the Google:
"as·so·nance/ˈasənəns/
Noun:
In poetry, the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables (e.g., penitence, reticence).
al·lit·er·a·tion/əˌlitəˈrāSHən/
Noun:
The occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words."
Maybe now we should stop, before putting the "ass" in assonance (if it isn't already too late for that).
:-)
But putting the "antic" in "pedantic" is always appropriate...

As Memorial Day comes and goes, I can't help but wonder if all those brave and dead soldiers in every war, except the South in the Civil War really died for the 1%? Did they lay down their lives so that the richest one percent could get richer on their (the common American's) back? Did they die so that their heirs would be simply disenfranchised through voter suppression laws? Did they die so that their teachers could be vilified and blamed for all of our societal evils? Perhaps it was so workers rights could be stripped. Maybe it was so our whole country can be "Bained". You know, when he comes in, strips away everything of value, steals the pension fund(Social Security and Medicare) and leaves the carcas of retirees and ex-employees in his wake of dying cities. The Paul Ryan budget, which Romney completely embraces, does precisely that. It is the Bain ethos only applied to the whole of our great nation. An awful lot of people died for our liberties,rights,values and yes, entitlements. Now, a tiny few want to take them away from us, many more from women! How is this election even close? Think, decide, VOTE!!!
Nice comment. Timely, thoughtful, poignant, and, um... on the wrong thread?
