"What really alarms me about President Bush's 'War on Terrorism' is the grammar. How do you wage war on an abstract noun? ... How is 'Terrorism' going to surrender? It's well known, in philological circles, that it's very hard for abstract nouns to surrender."

You've been reading Terry Jones's War on the war on Terror!? I love that book!
ReplyDeleteNo... I confess with shame that I just did an Internet search after you recommended it, and came across that awesome quote. I WANT to read it.
