You should see his right hand man.
"This is coming down the pike at us real quick," Democrat Mark Warner of Virginia said about the complex new policy changes, which governors say will unfairly force them to pay part of Bush's new prescription drug benefit.I hate it when people use the wrong words in common everyday phrases. Every time I see it on T.V. or in print we all just pretend like we didn't see it. Indeed, maybe some of you didn't. The proper phrase is "Coming down the pipe." PIPE! A pike is a fish, a spear, or a diving move. I suppose you could mean "Coming down the pike." as "Coming down the spear." but that would imply that whatever it is has been skewered and is dead. Learn to fucking talk people! Also, "admittedly" does not have a "b" in it and "combined" only has one "ed" on the end. Furthermore, correctly spoken, the phrased "He is a pompoused ass." would actually be "He is a pompous ass." The word "Pompous" is an adjective not a verb.

Did that kid just say "What's a battle?"
yes, oh god of grammar. :P
If you would do your research, Adam, you would find that the phrase "Coming down the pike" with "pike" referring to a turnpike is a perversion of the earlier phrase "coming down the pipe" which related to those building the London sewer system recognizing that there was "more work" on the way. It was changed to "coming down the pike" by poor-ass grammar free Jersey construction workers once the word turnpike became to much work to fully pronounce.
And if you hear "coming down the pipe" and automatically think "poop chute" you have problems.
