OXYMORONS

This picture has nothing to do with this blog. I thought of the pictures of Barak (Hussein) Obama or John (Amnesty) McCain because the word "moron" is in the word "oxymoron" but decided the above pix. represented American industry accurately

Because so many Americans have been educated by the public school system I thought I should post a definition of oxymoron. It is “a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect,”

This could go on forever but just in case, locution = “a style of speech or verbal expression”
