"At a glacial pace"

As I noted before, such change moves at a glacial pace, but it is moving.

Progressive reform is moving "at a glacial pace," but lots of others entities aren't... for example glaciers aren't moving "at a glacial pace" any more. Glaciers are melting away like fucking jack-rabbits, while the Progressive Caucus moves its agenda along "at a glacial pace," and Obama's ludicrously weak climate legislation likewise.

So maybe it's time to dream up a new cliche to replace "at a glacial pace," because glaciers will probably disappear before any effective climate legislation is passed by Obama and the Democratic Congress.

My suggestion for a replacement would be "at a Progressive pace," because the Progressive agenda is now the slowest moving thing in the Universe (if it's moving at all).
