    That works. I was also thinking something like the following might work: "A label for an enemy’s patriotism."

    I didn't know Mario Cuomo died.

    Yeah, on New Years Day of this year. He had made the comments when criticized over plans for 100 Elvis imitators to perform a number during the ceremony for the rededication of the Statue of Liberty. Bring me your huddled masses, Mama.

    Happenstance: Whatever stance you happen to been in when the Zombie Apocalypse happens...

    Irrational:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Psychiatrist: Someone affectionately viewed as a form of Amazonian “head-shrinker” or, as the laity who have a hard time with big words like to shorten it, “shrink”. This hasn’t bothered psychiatrists who love it when their patients believe they have more power than they actually do.

    Humor: A measure of sanity based on the output of human chatter. If you can laugh, you are sane. If you cannot laugh, look at those idiots laughing. Sanity is overrated.
