QTIP and Lipstick

I saw the delightful cover of the current issue of the free Metro Silicon Valley newspaper and immediately thought of QTIP.

Metro Silicon Valley Cover - Dancing Pigs and Lipstick

I don't mean Unilever's brand of cotton swab but rather QTIP, the acronym for
Quit Taking It Personally.

Even someone like me who does not watch TV has heard of the embarrassing squabble two weeks ago between our presidential candidates over the phrase Lipstick on a pig and who was calling whom a pig. The Metro cover image of three piggies with crowns dancing around the big lipstick captured the silliness of the debate beautifully. If I could say one thing to Obama and McCain right now, it would be to ask them to set a better example for adult behavior and just QTIP.
