peristaltor points out that if John McCain insists on calling himself a "maverick," he (and his handlers) might want to learn a little bit about the word's origin. I had no idea myself where the word came from, and now that I know, I gotta say: McCain keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

Interesting to folks who care about politics and folks who find language fascinating. I know I have a few of both on my flist.
