There's a gag in one episode of Arrested Development (the greatest television show in the history of the world) in which a character sees a bag in his freezer labelled, "Dead Dove. Do Not Eat." Curious, he opens the bag, looks grossed out, pauses, and says, "I don't know what I expected."

I had a similar experience this morning. National Review Online posted a link to a Jonah Goldberg column entitled "Kill the cats!" Intrigued, I clicked on it, figuring it had to be a metaphor of some kind. It's not.
