Why, in our house the talk is of little else

From TPM, proof of novelist Edward Dahlberg's observation, "Every decision you make is a mistake:"

'Technically, Obama has a name with a built-in charge. In poetic terms, it's a strong iamb for his first name, strong amphibrach for the last. It's a name that's all but designed for creating a rhetorical point. Hillary made it uneventful and conversational, quiet, a little sing-songy, as if it were all she could do even to say it.'
