There is a phrase I keep hearing in the media and reading in
the news and for the life of me, I cannot parse what they are saying. The words
alone are pretty clear but the meaning of the phrase is completely beyond me. The
phrase I keep hearing is “Throw the bums out.”
During the 2010 State Of The Union Address (January 27,
2014) Supreme Court Justice, Sam Alito, shook his head when the President
claimed in his speech that their recent “Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission”
decision had opened “the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign
corporations –- to spend without limit in our elections.” Besides being
unspeakably rude it has also proven to be almost wholly untrue.
