When I was a child, "Bossy" was a cow's name. (It comes from ancient Greek.) Now it's one of those words we use to shame girls for acting in ways we'd praise if boys acted that way, and it works even less well on me than most of those because of the old image I have for it. For those who do not have that advantage, Amanda Marcotte points out why it's a stupid word.

Richard Nixon was kicked out of the White House because his people treated the Democratic Party like a black group or a peace group. Not learning from history, the CIA has treated Senator Dianne Feinstein like an ordinary citizen.
