Today, under George W. Bush, there are two Americas, not one: One America that does the work, another that reaps the reward. One America that pays the taxes, another America that gets the tax breaks. One America - middle-class America - whose needs Washington has long forgotten, another America - narrow-interest America - whose every wish is Washington's command. One America that is struggling to get by, another America that can buy anything it wants, even a Congress and a president.

 
John Edwards
 

The America of Moctezuma and Atahualpa,
the aromatic America of Columbus,
Catholic America, Spanish America,
the America where noble Cuauhtémoc said:
"I am not on a bed of roses" —our America,
trembling with hurricanes, trembling with Love:
O men with Saxon eyes and barbarous souls,
our America lives. And dreams. And loves.
And it is the daughter of the Sun. Be careful.

 
Ruben Dario
 

Ma: Friend-friend, or euphemism-friend?
David: He used to be a euphemism, now he's just a friend.

 
Harvey Fierstein
 

He Thought Positively till he became a euphemism for himself.

A composite is a euphemism for a lie. It's disorderly. It's dishonest and it's not journalism.
