“Isn’t that headline a mixed metaphor? Or just a pleonasm?”

Now I know why you are lonesome in Mass, using words like that. I had thought about pleonasms, I just had not realized there was a name for them. But then, again, many of you FReepers are so darned intelligent, I feel like a one year old living in a Latin only world, while my parents speak only penguinese. :-)
