Romneyconomics

The shortsighted economic policies of the Romney/Ryan campaign that rely heavily on the ideas of Ayn Rand. Romneyconomics pushes the trickle-down economic theory that ends up widening the the gap between haves and have-nots because it does not account for greed and other externalities.

Tea Partier: I voted for Romney 4 years ago - my income hasn't risen but the cost of living has skyrocketed and my community is deteriorating.

Rational-but-bitter Progressive: How's that Romneyconomics plan working out for ya?

going jet blue

When the frustrations of a stressful job get to be too much, you scream obscenities over the PA system, grab a beer from the lunch room refrigerator, deploy the proverbial escape chute, and scurry off to a better life.

Man, if that jackass mentions his precious 'action plan' one more time, I'm going jet blue on his ass!

bully pulpit

Teddy Roosevelt used the term "bully" as an adjective to mean "wonderful" or "superb", and coined the term "bully pulpit" to mean a terrific platform from which to advocate an agenda.

An alternate definition of "bully" as a noun means someone who harasses or intimidates. The modern definition of "bully pulpit" reflects the misuse of the church pulpit by unenlightened preachers to bully followers into submitting to their twisted views.

I used to enjoy going to church until the preacher started using the bully pulpit to rail against homosexuals. This is not the message of Jesus! I have plenty of gay friends who are the kindest, most generous people you could know. I don't attend church anymore.
