She writes for a pop culture website (or something) called -- what else? -- TresSugar. Anyway, her piece was as enticing as your favorite confection. How could anyone resist reading: "Ten Cliches That Actually Ring True."
Her nominations are: (1) Love is blind. (2) It takes two to tango. (3) Misery loves company. (4) If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (5) Too little, too late. (6) Actions speak louder than words. (7) Two wrongs don't make a right. (8) Never say never. (9) Laughter is the best medicine. (10) People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Not bad. DearSugar's readers added: "You get what you pay for"; "Actions speak louder than words," and "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Personally, I would have nominated: "Stupid is as stupid does." And in honor of President Obama's Libya intervention, one mustn't forget the resurrection of the cliche now being bandied about by our lemming-like chattering class: "Hope is not a strategy."
But, as they say, I disgress. The Portal now returns you to its regularly scheduled programming. (Sorry. I just couldn't resist being trite to the last.)
