"Intellectual honesty"

jumps the shark

Special Blog Edition:

MSM
blogosphere
Rathergate
meme
self-correcting
snark
moonbat
wingnut
Heh/Indeed

I'm going with "no free lunch" and "personal accounts."

I love "jumps the shark"! You can't take it from me!

I nominate "moonbat"--the lamest, stupidest insult I have ever heard.

I heartily second "meme" as the non-word I never want to see again.

Mandate

I assume that culture of life has already had all the culture and life sucked out of it?

George W. Bush

"moral values"

I don't want "meme" banned; I just want to annihilate its recently-acquired second meaning: web-based questionnaire as a form of amusement. The original coinage by Dawkins meant something quite different, and to my mind, still quite interesting.

This probably belongs to last year more than this year, but I'm so tired of 'Islamofascist'.

I assume that culture of life has already had all the culture and life sucked out of it?

ditto ...

culture of life

UGH

followed by ...

freedom is god's gift (to every sovereign nation we invade -- and to everyone killed as a result)

plus ...

spreading democracy throughout the world (whether you want it or not; whether you hate us or don't)

also ...

ownership society (we own, you pay, you borrow, you broke)

Oh, God, I'm so confused! Is it 2005? Or 2006? I've posted on the wrong list!

"Self-correcting blogosphere."

also

"I read Hugh Hewitt's book."

Islamofascist

Guahh, what an ugly word. I second its inclusion.

approved for saturation thru april 2005

bloody bore (sin city)

been there, done that - the secret of my excess (tarantino)

"Islamofascism"

The new meaning of meme is the useful one. The old one is pernicious and misleading.

What about the combo-word "Hehndeed"?

I'll second:

meme
blogosphere
MSM
culture of life
moral values
values

And add:
George Lakoff (I really love the guy's work, but it's being over-used)

Oh, and of course, framing... unless you're talking about framing someone for murder, in which case it's all right.

"[Fill in commentator's name here] nails it."

or

"[Fill in commentator's name here] gets it right."

CULTURE OF LIFE

[caps intended]

"nuclear option" or whatever the hell it's called.
