Now there's an oxymoron right down there with "military intelligence"
and "honest politician".


OK, its not Friday yet, but we are winding down to the holidays.

Does anyobdy else have a favorite oxymoron? I rather like "military
music"
to go with "military intelligence". "Devout atheist" also springs to
mind.
Mind you, I sometimes suspect that my company name is also an
oxymoron...
