Damn the torpedoes of cynicism!
Salt Lake Chamber President Lane Beattie, whose metaphor-murdering speechifying is notorious among veteran Utah journalists, issued some words of solace this week:
The past year will be remembered for its storminess and rightly so. We have been tossed and turned. Our ship has taken some water. And yet Utah households, businesses and elected leaders will right this ship. The sails have already been trimmed as we’ve responded to market signals. The winds of change are certain. . . .

Our economic ship will sail strong again.
Don't know about you, but I think I'll put on a dress and scarf and head for the lifeboats.
