end around for end run.

The Repubs had worked the system together with the Dems with a nice pork ladened bill all ready to be passed when Reid did this end around.

maybe ladened should be included also.

Re: end around for end run.

From another blog comment we get “fell swoop”>> “false swoop”.

We don’t take all the events in the world and burden ourselves to the point of depression. Honestly, if I thought of all of those things listed above in one false swoop it would depress me (world hunger, war, etc.).

Re: end around for end run.

“False sweep” is a good one, vexact. You should perhaps attach it to another fell post or submit it on its lonesome so it won’t go astray. This post tried to tie them all together.

I like end around too!
