Elvish for "petty-dwarves". In The Silmarillion, they are dispersed and secretive dwarves who entered Beleriand before the elves made contact with the dwarves of Belegost and Nogrod. They were persecuted and hunted down because the elves thought they were creatures of Morgoth, and as a result they became accustomed to hiding in hidden underground homes, and also to hating the elves (especially the Noldor).
The only petty-dwarves to play a major role were Mim and his sons Khim and Ibun. They got into a fight with Turin and his companions, and Turin fatally shot Khim with an arrow and captured Mim. Mim took Turin to his home in return for mercy, but later betrayed Turin to orcs when they captured him. He was later slain by Beleg. His home, on the mountain Amon Rudh, was known as Bar-en-Danwedh, the House of Ransom.
Mim and his sons are the only individual dwarves to play any significant role in the Silmarillion.

A mode of protest made famous during the Argentinazo in late 2001. It involves protesters making noise by banging pots, pans and other utensils (originally to symbolise hunger). It can be used either to disrupt through making a noise, or simply to draw attention. Since the Argentinazo, it has become popular across Latin America and beyond, and has been used by European anti-capitalists among others.
A similar protest tactic in India is known by the name gherao.
Protesters marked the visit of IMF officials by holding a cacelorazo in the street outside.

1. A lie created by conservative pundits used to describe four of the five major news networks and several newspapers. Consists primarily of a slight majority of left-leaning moderate reporters who are so terrified of being called biased, they deliberately slant their coverage far to the right. Known for ignoring important stories that could have a dramatic impact on American politics, including 2000 election fraud, prewar intelligence that refuted all of Bush's claims about Iraq, and 2004 election fraud.
2. (conservative slang) Any news source that is not blatant about its conservative slant; any news source without the motto 'fair and balanced.'
Damn that liberal media... they keep ignoring all the good things that have happened in Iraq, like those 50 people we saved from the rape rooms by killing 100,000 civilians.

1) A generic term for the realms in the far south of Middle Earth, roughly corresponding to Africa in relation to Europe. Harad is of unknown size, was not mapped by JRR Tolkien and features little in the books. The only location mentioned is Umbar, a city in northwestern Harad from which pirates known as Corsairs attack the coasts of Gondor; in the book Unfinished Tales, Tolkien hints that Istari (wizards) other than the famous five resided in Harad, including a Wizard by the name of Tu. The Haradrim (people of Harad) fought with Sauron in the War of the Ring, although it is unclear whether they were tricked; also known as Southrons (although in some renditions, such as the PC version of the War in Middle Earth game, Haradrim and Southrons are separate people). In the third Lord of the Rings film, the Haradrim appear at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields heavily armoured, in vaguely Middle Eastern-looking costumes. In battle, the Haradrim are best-known for their use of Mumakil or Oliphaunts, which are elephants or elephant-like monsters native to Harad.
A search on Google Images reveals that many Tolkien fans and RPG players have drawn maps of Harad, but that these never correspond to one another, with the result that innumerable versions of Harad now exist, each with its own specifications of kingdoms, peoples etc. There are two Harad extension packs for the official (non-computer) Tolkien RPG, although they are only available second-hand.
The name "Harad" is an Elvish word for "south". The area is also known as the Haradwaith ("South-folk").
2) an actual region of Sweden. (I found this out while searching Google Images for Harad).
The hosts of Harad rode forth to battle against the beleaguered forces of Gondor, foully hewing their way into the Gondorian ranks. (not a quote; this is me imitating Tolkien-speak).

The well-documented process by which the Right in America, who control of much of the American Media (see Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Liberal Media)hypocritically attack a liberal (see Bill Clinton) for something that would go unnoticed if a conservative had done it, all the while downplaying any piece of news that is unfavorable to their agenda.
Bill clinton is an immoral liar. "But I didn't inhale." Puh-leese!
Why should George W. Bush have to answer accusations about his former coke-habit?
