Today's repetitive redundancy

From the e-mail box, John writes:
Today I heard an NPR reporter use the phrase: "carefully delineated guidelines."

It will appear in the box score as the reporter being credited with a double but thrown out trying to stretch it to a triple.
And our mutual buddy Warren responded:
In the past week, I heard this classic "past history," and the ever popular "voting begins Saturday at 7 a.m. in the morning."
Well, I had no choice; I had to respond:
And then there's "portable navigation system." Those are so much handier than the stationary kind.

I should also mention Rex King's favorite group: Stellastarr*.



*I can't help but look for the footnote, either.
