Phrases or words I just can NOT stand anymore.

[Justice Is Comin]

War on anything-----

War on terror ESPECIALLY ! God I can't stand it anymore. 24 hours a day, never ending around the clock. And then: war on drugs, war on crime, war on inflation, war on prostitution, war on assault weapons, war on poverty, and now pu-lease...war on Christmas.

* american people... Not being straight with the american people, the american people understand that (McClellan ad infinitum), doing what the american people want, level with the american people, working for the american people. For God's sake, find a new way to describe us.

* left, right, right, left, rightwing, leftwing... Knock it off! It's Bush hater or Bush lover.
