Making Our Way

Did you even note; an imposter is in our midst! And our beloved Tube is the originator. Faithless beast, merely nipping at our consciousness for many years and now the unsuspecting weather man is the infected carrier, flipping forth without a care--unconsciously, the old ageworn and frazzled fellow practiced through the decades, now hallowed by the dapper dans as respected common fare. I give you the uncelebrated, very frequent and Unconscious Obstinate Cliche. No, this not a sexist accusation, boys. The fetching weather bunnies will not face indictment by my pen. Though often glorified as chief among the holders of degree in meteorology, it is the men most prone to say, "As we make our way into...." the weekend, or such travels that we helpless viewers take. But politics, not weather news, may have the honor of origination. Sixty years ago I first became aware when a network commentator told us of a president, no less, "making his way" down the aisle to deliver his thoughts on the state of the union. "And us", you say? Well, I for one may make my way into oblivion with just the right amount of claim to fame. That I (ahem) duly noted, dedicated, scribed and launched a new cliche upon a very celebrated list for all of humankind. ~
