Well, my favorites have always been "shared wealth" and "socialist utopia."

Well, oxymoron fans (oxymorons????)  check out William Safire's column in
the June 2nd NYTimes.  He launches into a long discussion of oxymorons.
(Jumbo shrimp, Senatorial ethics, Military Intelligence) along with some
serious ones, and a lengthy discussion on the topic.  Good reading.
