    Grizzled means graying, and I don’t see any gray here, but I totally know what you mean. Is it that gristle sounds like grizzled—a coarse and uneven beard looks like gristle? It is kind of like how people use swarthy to mean hairy, when really it means dark.

    @iplaudius: I would assume people make the mistake due to the world "grizzled" being rather like the word "grizzly" as in Adams or Bear, which are both known to be hairy and unkempt.

    @Bill Zilla: If Wikipedia can be trusted, the bear got its name from the gray hairs in its fur. When the formal Latin name was assigned, "grizzly" ( = grizzled) was misunderstood as "grisly," which was translated to the subspecies name horribilis. I love stuff like this. So, now, a word that meant "gray" can mean "wild and bear-like" or even, to some ears, "horrible."

    There is a line from a Shakespeare sonnet (12), "Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard." I won’t be able to hear that line now without rhyming "gristly beard" in my mind.

    @iplaudius: Haha, I also went to wikipedia to learn about grizzly bears. I blame the public school system. Yeah, it would appear that it ALL means "gray," but one can see why the mistake is frequently made.

    I like Ware and his crooked nose - he's like the Australian James Carville. Lots of coded, nearly-impenetrable, home-grown witticisms used to describe already complicated subject.

    Funny guy.

    @♥Anti-SocialSocialite♥: C'mon, he is so annoyingly earnest about how special he thinks he is. Also, his reporting is just absurdly "anti-establishment" in the way that a guy who reports for ultra-lame outlets would be "anti-establishment". He's really good at making the "bad guys" sound scary and powerful and conniving despite oodles of evidence that they are thugs in dresses popping off guns until they stray into the sights of the unceasing American gun.

    ...and where did Obama stay when he was a Senator in Washington?
