Great piece, but can we please, PLEASE retire "The Scorpion and the Frog" story?

Also the "Frog in the Water" analogy, the use of "Frankly" to begin every sentence, the "Casa Blanca" reference, "I'm shocked...SHOCKED", and finally, "at the end of the day"?

If we can eliminate these few words and phrases from our national lexicon, the World would be a better place for you and me, just wait and see!

Frankly, at the end of the day, I have to agree. :)
