6. Yes, but you can't dance to "Muslim Community Center"

7. So I've heard.

Of course, it actually overlooks reality and facts. Such is the nature of spin, where rhetoric is real and substance ethereal.

One can overuse synecdoche, of course, but it's also a valid trope.

9. The YMCA is currently re-branding itself as simply "The Y".

A recent author of a letter to the editor in my small town bi-weekly was very upset at this abandonment of the Christian Church.
