Words I am getting REALLY tired of hearing on the mainstream corporate media
"connect with" (as in Obama needs to "connect" with some unidentified group of voters).

"narrative" (uh, a narrative is book, like "To Kill a Mockingbird").

"white working class" (as in those precious, oh so special WHITE people in Southern Ohio who are getting fucked over by these Republicans, yet they always seem to end up voting Republican; or Christopher Matthews' obsession with chubby, middle aged, white guys in Scranton who are blue-collar, uneducated, and just a little bigoted).

I'll have some more words later on.

3. That phrase is only good in:
"It was a time of war, it was a time of peace." Only Charles could pull it off so well.
