*linguistic rant on* Lawrence O'Donnell was interviewing Hillary Clinton. He asked her about Kamala's progress toward the election. She replied, "Oh she's got a "tough road to hoe"! That's another of those commonly mis-quoted aphorisms that people toss around without thinking. One hoes a ROW, like in a garden, not a road! ?"Richmond is a hard road to travel, I believes"? ...Good thing one didn't try to hoe all the way. It's like those who say "It's a doggy-dog world."! or "wrecking havoc". I'm sure folks can think of others. *rant off* for now.
