The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Duh-worthy

I missed the first half of the announcement, but someone was droning on the radio this morning (right after Morning Edition; I don't think it was a national NPR spot) about how "everything we do is either health-creating —"

[pregnant pause]

"— or not."

Yeah, that ought to narrow it down.

Addendum, 13 October, 6 pm: I've identified the program; the description on screen is a little bit less terse.

Whatever that is going on with Mister Snitch and Dwayne has taken on a life of it's own and I ain't goin' there...

The "health-creating" comment reminds me of one that came out of a news/weather reporter's mouth a few years ago, informing us that "There will be weather all day."

Or George Carlin's "Tonight's forecast: Dark, with growing light towards morning...."
