“Just a little pet peeve of mine.”
Not to change the subject, but speaking of pet peeves:
Why do conservative talking heads insist on referring to them as the “democratic” party? That word helps to instill that dims are fair and want what’s good for the country - when their plans are nothing but disastrous for the country!
I sometimes get the feeling that the conservative talking heads are paid to not embarrass the liberals by pointing out the obvious.
You really want to tick them off, ask them: "If there are 25 of you in a room, are you 25 democrats or 25 democratics?" That will make them leave huffing and puffing fumes.
