Attention, Alanis Morissette:

In case you were wondering, this is "ironic".

A "black fly in your chardonnay" is just gross.

Bill said...: That song is meta-ironic, since the only ironic thing about it is that nothing in it is ironic.

I think.

I may have just confused myself, though.; 12:52 PM, February 10, 2010

Phillip said...: I remember when that song was first out, a radio station reported that a language professor had gone through the song and stated that there were no examples of irony in the song, that what she described was "a series of bummers". I was impressed that a language professor would communicate the idea so clearly.; 2:16 PM, February 10, 2010

"As D.C. continued to dig out from Snowmageddon and is keeping an eye on another storm system, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was busy making a climate change announcement. NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says...[snip]...Turns out the release was planned prepared ahead of the snowstorm, which shut federal agencies today and forced its senders to hold a press conference by telephone instead of at the National Press Club."
