These cliches should be banned on the Federal Level. Anyone using either of these phrases should deported:
- "It Could Have Been Worse" - This cheap and silly piece of journalistic hoo-ha makes my blood boil. A crack newscaster is standing on a beach in Banda Ache where tens of thousands of people lost their lives, their loved ones, their livelihoods, their innocence. A monkey with a microphone in one hand while the other is shielding his brow from the flames that swept through an entire neighborhood, maiming denizens and rescuers, destroying property, and scarring the environment. An elderly lady is in shock as the bodies of her entire family are carried away after a senseless gang-related drive-by shooting rips them to pieces right in front of her. "Well", says the boob tube rube, "It could have been worse!".
- "At the End of the Day" - This just reminds me of all the nagging, self-righteous, overly-trained, pious people out there who have some needly point they have to keep poking into your side, letting you know that regardless of the circumstances or players involved, "At the end of the day" everything you are saying is crap and everything they're saying is a FACT.
