Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves
Here's a typical one from my files, from 2009:

"We can't be lulled into the fact that all the Al-Qaeda people are flubs....They are expert bombers."

From 1968:

"We're banking on the fact that Dr. Halvorsen's [crackpot] theory [that we don't believe] is correct."
