Hey y'all,I know I am probably preaching to the choir on two fronts, 1) you're all very smart and 2) you are very likely to be quite familiar with American colloquialisms, but I want to do my part. Below I have links to factual news articles about common and recent uses of "lipstick on a pig" phrase; commentaries on it; and listings of the phrase dated years before this week's headlines. Pass it on... don't, but I urge you to be informed. We cannot base our decisions on scare tactics, propaganda, quips, or great oration. Think and vote.
