One Hundred Billion Trillion Thousand Googolplex Millenia!
It actually wouldn't sound all that much different. I'm referring to an article containing a quote from the president of the Sierra Club, a well-meaning but (obviously) well-left-tilting organization. He's speaking, of course, about how very baaad President Bush is when it comes to the environment:

"Bush has done his best, in only three years, to break our national compact on environmental progress and turn the clock back -- not years or decades, but a full century," said Sierra Club President Carl Pope....

He shoots...he scores! Nothing but HYBERBOLE!

We ALL want to protect the environment, Carl. I love public parks. I love fresh air. I love clean water. I love animals. What separates liberals from conservatives, though, is conservatives don't go overboard about it. Earth isn't GOD. Earth was put here for us to look after, yes, as well as USE. Resources are meant to be used. I, for one, like big engines and detergent-using washing machines. I also like the idea of recycling, developing hydrogen power, and keeping large public parks available (especially the Grand Canyon!) for the public. Ironically, I probably concur with a lot of what the Sierra Club stands for...except not quite as extreeeeme. Everything in moderation, fellas. Balance capitalism with environmentalism. Got it?

Extremism
Here's an article about potential terrorist attacks in London. How about this:

[Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad] added: "We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity."

Isn't that scary? In my last post I said I didn't hate those people who hate me. Let me modify that: if someone hates me and wants to kill me, I may not hate them but I do think that they're EVIL. I'm talking about the type of vermin who would kill me for essentially minding my own business. They need to be expunged from the planet.
