Brown Revisited

No, I have not changed my mind.
But many of you have whined and taken offense enough for me to retrieve a quote from an authoritative figure.

In the words of Winston Churchill, who himself was an accomplished painter and an astute observer of the nuances of color:

I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colours.
I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.


Read it and weep folks.
The man brought down the Nazis and yes, they wore brown.
Argue with that.
Banish the color, I say!

I wish I could find the clip of Karen Walker from Will and Grace saying, "Honey...two things...first of all, Brown is over...."

Yes, my friend. They are brown.
And you know what that means ;-)
