Thanks for your persistence in the face of the Daily Dumbness that is POTD. Ironically I can see what you have been doing all these years is carry out a scientific study to identify the key components that are needed to create the perfect Platitude of the Day. 

Checklist

1. Oblique reference to something in the news. It is important that the news item should not be one that casts the speaker&#039;s religion in a poor light. If there is a contemporaneous big news story that really warrants a theological perspective then it should be fastidiously avoided.

2. Pointlessly facile observation 

3. Smug tone - if you can speak in a really irritating voice then even better. When you are speaking you need to imagine yourself stood at a solid gold pulpit with the masses congregated in front of you.

4. Lactation (You all know who I&#039;m referring to!)

5. We, and by &quot;we&quot; I of course mean &quot;you&quot;

6. A final sentence that tries to give the impression that I&#039;m leaving you with a profound conundrum that you need to struggle with for the rest of the day, but is in fact just a pile of guff.

All the best for the future Peter!

Regards
