I am so tired of screaming superlatives. "They" are now calling Gustav the "Storm of the Century". Oh good grief! We've only eight years into the century. Call it "the Storm-of-the-Century-So-Far" if you want. Somehow in my mind I connect this tendency with that "everybody gets a trophy" mentality.

Oh! How about "A female vice-presidential nominee -- this is historic! History-making!" NO! Been done before!
I know. That's like the Standing O thing. I know I rarely get tickets to an event but just because the performer showed up doesn't mean he / she deserves that honor.
And could we just be a little more hysterical about Gustav? Please? Because we weren't hysterical enough when Katrina hit, we're trying to make up for that. Ouch.
And yeah, Queen, has no one under the age of 25 ever had modern history? No, probably not. But you're right.
Well to be fair, they never said WHICH century ;)
