Pet Peeve
Every news station and major network that I turn to for my morning news refer to "the Republican Lead Congress"

Last time I checked Democrats controlled half of that Congress. I have never considered the House or Senate as the "leading" chamber.

Yeah Yeah...I know with the filibuster Repugs control the Senate too. But if we made them really filibuster instead of just say they will I think that control would be a bit less. Just chaps me.

1. Yea the hiding of the filibuster, either by how it would be reported.
Or by a rule not making them actually do it, is part of the problem.
