Ouch! Alive Alive Oh!

By Reg Green

    We’re all so used to sloppy talk that we don’t notice it any more.
Without raising an eyebrow on a million faces, tv announcers routinely tell us, “We’re going now to Angela who is live on the White House lawn.” Good to know they haven’t had to dig up corpses for their news bulletins.

On the other hand, it was no surprise that Grizelda looked in peak condition when we were told she had got “the president of the Democratic party in the great state of Somewhere down on the convention floor.” Lucky prez.

I’m finding it hard to wait till Memorial Day for an anchor to send us to Thomasine, live at Arlington Cemetery.
