This nonstory is as old as the hills, routinely getting trotted out once every few months by some journalism industry writer somewhere, but it's always good for a laugh or two. Definitely check out the "What nasty names" link, or add your own here.

A MUST READ

How "liberals" are made-not born; California Style.

Soeaking of the "good, the bad, and scatology: Guess what one Aaron Cohen of Long Beach City College is up to?
Apparently he teaches psychology. I just found his online description of his course. Guess what he calls a "Conservative"? "Boris B. Blowhard".
Ever wondered how California just seems to spit out rabid liberals? I guess it's their "liberal" arts program and other courses like "psychology 101". I've emailed the Pres. of the school; we'll see what she has to say othewise I should let her educational partners know what she allows at the "liberal" school.

It's not a newspaper nickname, but of course we all know how much the Loony Left loves to refer to FNC as Faux News.

Which is why we call CNN the Clinton News Network and refer to MSNBC as MSDNC.
