have a bone to pick

Man’s best friend appears to have a bone to pick with U.S.

“I have a bone to pick with you,” Palin said, lightly.

On the chance that he does, I have a bone to pick with him – less cosmic, but something that speaks volumes about his probity and fitness for office.

Look, I know it’s futile to have a bone to pick with Joe Manchin, a person who has stuck around in the Senate to fulfill this exact flavor of vanity: a desire to appear on television and be nonspecifically “troubled” by various avenues of the Democrats.

But, for this reason alone, I have a bone to pick with garlic salt.
