This might be it!

I was reading something Joe Lieberman said the other day on the Imus TV show when I ran across this tidbit from the Connecticut State Library: A nickname for the State of Connecticut cited in A Dictionary of Americanisms on Historical Principles, edited by Mitford M. Mathews (University of Chicago Press, 1951) is...

The Land of Steady Habits.

So maybe that would explain this from Crooks and Liars: When discussing his plan for Iraq ("hope and pray") Lieberman says to Imus...

The other alternatives–the main alternative that the opponents of what the President has done are offering is to simply begin to withdraw....I mean some people want to withdraw because they just want to get out.

Can you dig it? Some people want to withdraw because they want to get out.

Yeah, that must be some steady habit, alright.
