9. Rodents of Unusual Size . . .
Were referred to as ROUSs (pronounce each letter, rather than as a word) in both the book and movie.

17. It's an acronym -
I don't hear well and I never read the book, so I thought it was a word!

18. That is not a very good list
Left off FAR too much........

700 billion dollar trade deficit

550 billion dollar Medicare Drug lie

Job creation worst since the Depression

$3.00 gallon gas prices

Destruction of the middle class

Bankruptcy Bill

CAFTA

Energy Bill

No funding for No Child Left Behind

Patriot Act

Fair Labor Standards Act gutted

Our reputation in the world destroyed

22. Yes while it was not a comprehensive list you have to remember it
is not a news channel but rather a comedy channel so I think it was pretty good. I know I always watch TDS because it gives voice to many of the absurdities of this current regime.

37. Also, that Katrina rates very low in the entire context - a mere "K"
That was the point. Answer to the question: "How high does this rate in the W disaster list?"

42. Steppin' up here...
Though I haven't read the books, I think he is Harry's main nemesis throughout the whole series...
Helpful tip: Next time, go to google.com and type the word in; you'll be surprised what an excellent resource this is for just about any sort of research under the sun.

I loved this one. Thanks for posting the graphic. Love the three instances of Osama & Jenna on the list.
