| Jul 21, 2018 at 7:01 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | The earliest Google Books match for the complete phrase "Just Another Day in Paradise" is to a 1982 music LP of that name by Bertie Higgins. I believe that the album title again alludes to standard-issue postcard greetings from tropical vacation destinations. Inclusion of the word "Just" at the beginning of the statement emphasizes that paradise-like conditions are normal there. | |

| Jul 21, 2018 at 6:44 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | "Just another day in paradise" is a standard postcard greeting, first made popular (in the U.S.) in sincere cards from vacation spots like Hawaii and the Caribbean, and later used sarcastically in reference to communiques from war zones. You can see examples of both kinds of postcards on this page called Just Another Day in Paradise Postcards. In reference to the White House, the reference is certainly sarcastic. | |
