"...As If The Gay Or Straight Debate Weren't Vexing Enough, Now We Have To Consider Curly or Straight, Too..."

Every December, Lake Superior State University issues a list of "banished" words, words that are so overused and/or misused that they are considered qualified only for exile.

The 2011 list is available here.

They missed one.

Stand by for it.








If the madness behind O'Reilly's method here isn't clear, allow me.

Apparently, Bill O' and his hearty band of shit stirrers feel it their civic duty to illustrate for us that Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz and, obviously for that matter, the whole Democratic Party are not to be trusted or ever again taken at their word because, just as obviously, as evidenced by this shocking video evidence, the Congresswoman failed to keep hers.

Word, that is.

Not curly hair.

Although she didn't keep that either.

Couple of questions, though, do come immediately to mind.

First, does Mr. O' not have a single female on this staff who grasps, and could articulate, the time honored bipartisan concept of "a woman's prerogative"?

Second, really, Bill? This is all you got? Really? Seriously?

This blog remains committed to its goal of boiling down, to some form of simple to understand essence, the subtle nuances and intricate plot twists that our political process injects into the American blood stream.

So, as regards what Bill O' Reilly is offering us in the way of expose', here's politics in plain english.

One of two things is happening here.

Bill O'Reilly is an idiot.

Or he thinks you are.

Straight or curly.

Oh...and the word they missed that needs to be banished because of over and/or misuse?

Gotcha.
