The Most Ridiculous "It's Bush's Fault." Ever

Nicknames?! Are you F***ing serious!? NICKNAMES?!

The Most Liberal MSNBC Article I've read yet

The idiot author spend the ENTIRE first page talking about Boston Red Sox pitcher, Daisuke "Dice-K" Matsuzaka. Then doesn't even mention the President until a quarter of a way down the second page.

Sadly, our nomenclature nosedive has spread into the pop cultural sphere, where J. Lo competes for headlines with TomKat and Brangelina. (Brangelina? Who thinks of this crap? It sounds like a protein shake.) I don’t want to encourage the obnoxious ways of Lindsay Lohan’s many ex-paramours, but I’ve got to give some light applause to the guy who dubbed her Fire Crotch. At least that jerk is making an effort.

What makes you so sure the comment wasn't tongue-in-cheek?

Because they listed it as "Did George Bush ruin nicknames forever?" on the homepage. How is that even necessary, of all the things that are in the news, you need to write about this!? I know it may not be literal, but why even say it in the first place is what I'm getting at.

Because it ellicits a response from people like you, who have nothing better to do than be offended by opinion pieces in the society section...

Offended, angered, merely riled up, whatever...you know what I mean. The fact that you even wasted your time reading the crap on the society page of MSNBC means the author bested you.

Bested me he has not, I skimmed for the word president once I saw him talking about a baseball player and didn't find that until the second page.
