Here is my example with WFTD.
We faced a Hobson's choice back in 1996. Either vote for Bob Dole or stay home.
excellent idea, by the way, SG! kudos! I had been thinking that maybe we should do something with phrases like this one, and Focault's Pendulum, Occaam's razor etc,
Hobson's choice?
Now, is that one word? Or three?
The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Good word/phrase. IMHO, that's what we'll have on the next Pres. Election cycle. Presently we've no one in the Republican stables who has (what was it the Dems called it?) the "gravitas" to keep the WH. A Hobson's Choice: Hillary or the Runner Up.
Pretty soon the Mullahs of Iran and that little punk, I'mDeadInAJar, will be faced with the Hobson's Choice of having to back up their fiery rhetoric with real action or having to back down and lose their tenuous grip on power. I presume that, when forced to choose between death and dishonor, these low-lifes will do what cowards and bullies have done since Cain slew Abel, and choose dishonor.
Home and just started dinner-
Just look at queen Hillary
And hear her demanding voice
She thinks the 'rat party
Will consider her a Hobson's choice
That may very well be true
But I'm sure there can be found
Some delegates who'd rather vote
For someone better all around
Rather than the queen of mean
Who still enables X42
In all his many dishonest schemes
Which he'd make her continue to do
Hi! Got the Hobson's choice of gettng to work or lifetime of unemployed FReeping.
