Turdshiner-in-Chief

Coprolite image licensed under Creative Commons by AlishaV

Turdshiner-in-Chief: Not entirely our term, but building on the brilliant John Stewart's and TDS's presentation of 11/17/09, "Submission Accomplished". (1) Suggested nickname for any president that has to 'pick up and shine' the turds left behind by the previous administration for public or diplomatic review. (As always, Aasif Mandvi gives a hilarious, manic performance). (2) The real job of any next new presidential administration.

Gidget Goes Rogue

Gidget Goes Rogue: (1) A suggested retitling of Ms. Palin's new book. Will the catchword 'b*tch*n' be replaced by "(You) Betcha'"? Or (2) That cheesey Newsweek magazine cover - is she going on a clambake or a Hobie-Cat? Are those deck shoes? Is that Andrew Zimmern in the background with a clam rake and tongs? In November?

Palin Populism, Palin Popularity or The Palin Cult

Image licensed under Creative Commons by billypalooza

Palin Populism, Palin Popularity, The Palin Cult: We've been busy elsewhere and are briefly returning for this lady, sigh... Yes, we saw the video(s) of the lines forming this morning at the Grand Rapids bookstore where Ms. Palin will be signing books on her tour. For those who can't make it through the first wave, we heard those turned away will be given (?) bracelets for their return book signing. Is she a cult figure? Or should the book title be; 'Gidget Goes Rogue'? Will 'b*tch*n' be replaced by "(You) betcha'"?

Sacrificialism

Sacrificialism: The sad but important portmanteau of sacrifice and journalism. Apparently researched in depth and at great risk by the great expository journalist Terry Gould. Mr. Gould made a recent appearance on Book TV discussing his great work Marked for Death (American Title) before the CPJ. Mr. Gould discussed the international problem of local journalists facing death threats and dying for their reporting on corrupt regimes in such places as; the Phillipines, Colombia, Iraq, Russia... Mr. Gould's dialogue boiled down to the essential fact that local journalists were/are sacrificing their own lives in order to inspire others to pick up their fight against corruption through reporting.
