SEMI-NEOLOGISM ALERT.
Look, I admit to being an Easter and Christmas kinda wonk -- an Election and Crisis sort of guy. Makes me feel guilty and all that. But lately it has been taking my energies away from thinking about, y'know, Krystal Meyers. (Who doesn't deserve ALL that much thought -- would like to follow up from my previous post, tho.) Maybe Piper Palin will make a bid for Xtian teenpop superstardom, but barring that there's just not a heckuva lot of overlap.
So! I'm going to suspend our regularly scheduled content to insist that everyone start branding this economic crisis NOW, while it's still hot:
Please refer to it ONLY as THE BIG BAIL.
A lot of people are using "Big Bail Out," and it's just one syllable too clunky. We need something sufficiently and efficiently negative to immediately drag down, when invoked, the administration linked to it. The Big Bail is your phrase. Please use it! That is all. A few good souls have been referring to the catchier phrase, but we need to institutionalize it. It needs to be standard, across the board -- can you imagine if everyone went around calling it "The Great Period of Financial Instability" or something?
We'll discuss the "Horrendous Space Kablooie" later.
