Heard this from a friend of a friend via an email locally circulating. Are you ready? Take a deep breath...
"The end of this system is just a whisper away..." From a CA talk I think, maybe even from the DC, I can't remember. The really funny thing is I just googled "a whisper away" and it's from a Donna Summer song about heaven. Laugh my ass off!!!
Whatever dolt spoke those words to his poor audiance, he couldn't even think of something original.
I remember last year I heard "we are at the doorstep of the great trib." How many more will there be in the next 10, 25, 50 years...oh my god. So sad.
