A Rush Insight to Ponder:

"You live your life according to the traditions and the institutions and traditions that you were raised with and you're trying to teach your kids and you simply try to hold onto these traditions and institutions that have defined decency and goodness and character and you're trying to pass them down." [Rush on the decency, goodness, and character shown by passing down to our kids ten trillion dollars in debt.]

Beer An essential American commodity. How essential? Cindy McCain’s family got its Money not from even making it but from just carrying it around.

May 9, 2008

Spouse An essential Political edge in these modern times. If you Hate hitting up fat cats (see McCain), a Rich spouse means you can blow them off while at the same time putting your opponents in an Tough position with your railing for Campaign finance Reform.

Weakness In the Military, an Enemy shortcoming to be aggressively exploited. That’s why McCain, a Navy guy, is single-mindedly exploiting the Democrat Party weakness of Thinking that Deficits Matter. He’s attacking this Achilles heel by proposing Bogus Cuts for every Tax in existence (and even some that might be Extinct!).

May 7, 2008

Decades The typical Period it takes for a Bogus Conservative proposal to actually have any impact on the short-term problem it is put Forward to address, for example Bush beating the drums for Drilling in ANWAR as a Solution to a spike in Gas prices.

May 6, 2008

Knee Jerk A reflex action not involving Thought. It’s the physiological explanation for our Bogus solutions to the current Voter issue du jour.

May 5, 2008

Bogus The best kind of Policy proposal – the ones that sound good but don’t have to Work. A great example is McCain’s proposal for a Gas Tax holiday when Simple Economics dictates that demand-driven price Increases will eat up the meager Savings. What matter? He got some nice Compassionate Conservatism points, the Oscar of bogus!

End of the Second Term The standard schedule for a Conservative Politician (see Bush and McCain) to Commit to having the Budget balanced. It allows them to seem concerned about Deficits (see Lying) while giving themselves the maximum amount of time to formulate an Excuse (see Blame).

April 28, 2008

Gaffe An innocent misstatement, like McCain inaccurately linking Iran to Al Qaeda at least five separate times. For one thing, Bush made the same linkage with Saddam and it worked out perfectly fine. And even we end up with Bombing or another Invasion, what could be Wrong with a little more Towelhead ass-kicking?

Claim The one time we don’t Hate Government Health care, specifically when health insurers can be Protected against Medical Losses by requiring Patients to first submit bogus claims to Medicare.

Medical Losses The term Health insurers use when they have to Spend some of the Money that people have been Paying them. On the other hand, if Medical conditions don’t get treated, they Win. In other words, no Pain, no gain.

April 23, 2008

Individualism The bedrock Conservative Principle that individuals individually thinking about a problem (see Global Warming) represents the proper way to address the problem.

April 22, 2008

April 15, 2008

Income Tax Day Our unofficial “National Republicanism Day,” when we whip Voters into a frenzy for having to contribute a portion of the Money that funds their Pork (the portion we haven't yet figured out a way to Borrow).

April 14, 2008

April 9, 2008

Period of Consolidation and Evaluation The technical name for the high point of a Surge, adopted by Bush’s buddy David as a Scientific explanation of why this particular surge hasn’t yet reached the part where things start flowing back out again.

A major preoccupation of the Bush Administration, specifically in ensuring that the Options of Future Presidents are limited (see Starve the Beast).

April 4, 2008

Defining Moment Bush’s apt description for the Iraqi Government’s siege of Basra. The Iraqi President defined his moment by setting Bold objectives accompanied by cocky statements, and then falling flat on his Face. In other words, a defining moment that exactly defines the accumulated moments of the Bush Presidency.

April 3, 2008

Stop Loss A Strategy for Victory that Liberals imagine to be a Back Door Draft. The actual Plan will finally be unveiled with Straight Talk on President McCain’s Inauguration Day: his “Start Gain” Policy (see Conscription).
