Hey boner, when the fashionistas of the world begin talking about open-tayed shoes (or shays), then I'll call you bayner. OR - when your side starts calling our party by its rightful name - The Democratic Party - NOT Democrat Party (OR Democrat President or Democrat Senate or Democrat bill or Democrat governor etc) - then I'll call you what you wish to be called, the way you wish it to be pronounced. Fire with fire, pal.
Whatever you do, we should be doing too. And jamming back down your throat.

But it HAS to be corrected, on the spot. HAS TO. I think some of these folks don't even realize they're doing it. They've just heard it that way and aren't even thinking about it. They just assume that's it because that's what they keep hearing. It HAS to be corrected. Then and There.

And the ReNig bumper stickers.
And the Obama/Tribal images.
And the Homosexual Demonization.
So probably the 4th of Never or the 3rd Blue Moon in February.
Indeed I'll give you a Rec
