Maverick

I swear if I hear that word one more time I will scream. I heard it a lot when I was in high school. Our rival school's mascot was the maverick. Of course, they were referring to the first definition of the word:

1. Southwestern U.S. an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother.

I'm guessing McCain and Palin want to think that the second definition applies to them:

2. a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.

Seeing as how that's just not really true maybe they meant the third definition:

3. (initial capital letter) an electro-optically guided U.S. air-to-ground tactical missile for destroying tanks and other hardened targets at ranges up to 15 mi. (24 km).

So they're like a missile? I guess that might make sense.

Man, the only way it would be better, if they were a missile was powered by a supersonic combustion high speed propulsion engine free of moving parts of a sort.
