DemocratIC Party

Posted by: ben. for reals. / 1:51 PM

At the risk of annoying Hammer by linking to something from The New Yorker (or maybe it's a bonus?), this lovely Hendrik Herzberg article deals with two of my favorite things: the Democratic Party and grammar.
What is the name of a certain political party in the United States—not the one which controls the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government but the other one, which doesn’t? The question is a small one, to be sure: a minor irritation, a wee gnat compared to such red-clawed, sharp-toothed horrors as the health-care mess and the budget deficit, to say nothing of Iraq and Lebanon. But it has been around longer than any of them, and, annoyingly, it won’t go away.
