Are you a fanatical, wild-eyed left-winger, prone to posting long USENET screeds<\/a> with subject lines like “DID DUBYA KILL ANN LANDERS??!!!!!! (YES!!!)” and packed with air-tight logical arguments like “bush dint’t want to invade iraq until the pretzle incident THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!”?<\/p>\n

Do you love those too-clever-by-half rhetorical shenanigans, like calling Bush “Resident<\/i> Select” or “Commander In Thief<\/i>” or “Republican<\/i>, insofar as he ‘can’ steal an election!”?<\/p>\n

If so, then, boy howdie, do I have a treat for you. Here’s a neologism I just came up with, and you (you!) are welcome to use it incessantly — in newsgroups, in letters to the editor, in long, spittle-intensive harangues delivered to the guy sitting next to you on the bus — between now and the televised speech next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Are you ready? Are you sitting down? You’d better sit down. I know how excited you get about these things. I’m serious about the sitting-down. Well, anyway, here it is:<\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: Last night I was describing to a buddy my campaign to insinuate the phrase “State Of Buffoonion Address” into the left-wing vernacular by publicizing it on my website.<\/p>\n

“Oh hey,” he said, “While you’re at it, could you try and get everyone to adopt my new phrase, too?”<\/p>\n

I said that I would. So here it is, everyone.<\/p>\n

“Keepin’ it real in two-thousand and threeal.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please employ it forthwith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
