Personally, I prefer "the Texas squatter."

3. I like it.

Dems need to step up in the War on Language. The Pubs have been twisting and torturing the language to their own purposes with ease and great effect. Our side needs to engage in that battle as well.

It clearly works.

8. I totally agree

I am posting a link here to the famed GOPAC memo from Newt.

There are a few exceptions that we need not use - most notably "liberal" "unionized," etc. But I always believe in taking a page from the opponents playbook and turning it to your advantage.

Here are a few of my suggestions to turn some novel keywords against them:

We need to end corporate welfare as we know it.

Compassion is not enough. We need real investment in schools, health care and protecting the environment.

Our foreign policy should not be driven by greed, cynicism and lies.

The administration has punished our veterans and offered them excuses, red tape and bureaucracy.

We need an administration that does not coddle corporate corruption, tolerate abuse of power and promote selfish and destructive behavior by corrupt executives.

It's really quite easy once you get started. Throw it back at them.

If you haven't already, you all should watch this. Just 15 minutes from last week's Bill Moyers NOW.

5. question - what is a meme?

I had always thought it was slang for "memo", but then I saw "meme memo" the other day on DU.

Forgive my ignorance.
