Filibuster is my favorite by far. Every time i pass by CSPAN on the tv i hope they’re filibuster-ing … although i don’t see that too often (or at all).
funny!
Come on, muckraker and gerrymander is totally fun to say! Haven’t you ever wanted to yell, “enough with all the gerrymandering!” You should try it, even out of context it feels great.
(uh, that should read ‘are totally fun to say’ not ‘is totally fun to say’. My bad.)
