"War On" morons (hmm, there's an idea...)

Linguistics prof. George Lakoff dissects the "war on terror" and other conservative catchphrases. As myself and others have said before, you can't have a war on terror, and yet every journalist calls it just that. The key point: liberals must stop using these terms created by the conservatives because it is those terms that keep them in power.

I'll call the Bushies and their kin "War on" Morons. It's easy to stay in power when you've got a war to fight. Maybe when Kerry wins, he'll start the "War on Morons" just to finish the Bushies off..
