Bad metaphors

2012-12-21 20:53:18.827641+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

An article about the expansion of the Gulf of the Farallones and Cordell Bank national marine sanctuaries:

“This is a good day,” Woolsey, the 10-term Democrat from Petaluma, said at a news conference in Washington, D.C. announcing the expansion plans. “At long last, we're on the road to giving these waters off the Sonoma County coast the protection they need and deserve.”

Is it just me, or is "...on the road to..." just about the worst metaphor someone could use for environmental protections?
