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.

I call both the newspapers in Tucson "the movie times" since that's all they're good for, and now with the internet they really aren't good for that either.

Hmm, I spent some time trying to come up with one for the Boston Globe without much luck. Perhaps that's because it simply the best bird cage liner made in America?

"...who christen their local news organs with monikers selected to highlight perceived journalistic failings."

"Gee, Ollie, what did he mean by that? I'm too stupid to understand anything that I read." (/Stanley dumbass act).

Hey, Chip Stanley, if you read this, understand that it is not only perceived journalistic failings that we rail against, it's confirmed ones. Funny how you (Chip) didn't pick up on the other, real message in the FR thread that you referenced.
