this can be anonymous and circulated around the net. I only have three, one thanks to quadriga reviving the Hooverville concept to apply to contemporary tent cities.

Please add . . we need 10, for form's sake. If it's good enough, it might make Olbermann. We have to get some of these terms in use--they're more powerful than hours of arguments that the TV rerun watching masses, who wanted a president they could a beer with, will ignore. Brief prior discussion here:

Fellow citizens:

So many esteemed leaders throughout history have lent their name to cities, initiatives, buildings, and indeed even eras. Indeed, some men's accomplishments (and I do mean men) are so staggeringly global and historical in their implications that they begin to shape the language of their populace even while they are still in power.

We are in fact uniquely privileged to live under the leadership of such a noble, visionary man, a man of selfless, lifelong devotion to the principles for which our founding fathers fought and died and to the future of our planet and all of its inhabitants. In fact, his arduous commitment in particular to lifting up our country's impoverished, her sick and dying, her wounded veterans and widowed young mothers, so reverberates throughout the humble artifacts and practices of our daily lives that he should justly lend them his distinguished name. The legacy of the venerable late Herbert Hoover particularly comes to mind.

1. Bush Linguine: Ramen noodles (with flavoring options of pork, chicken, and even creamy chicken)

2. Bush Debit Card: 1. Your child, who upon returning home from school you shake until any spare change falls from their pockets. 2. Your child, who will inherit a collapsed social and economic infrastructure and an Earth rendered uninhabitable to 50% of the species living today. Which species? Hell, let the kids figure it out. You won't be around.

3. Bushvilles: Tent cities, like the ones springing up in California, in which persons whose houses have been foreclosed due to the greed of Bush's speculative cronies create vibrant new communities and children wind their bicycles through cozy rusted RVs. (Credit to quadriga on Democratic Underground for making the connection between the 1930s Hoovervilles and the emerging tent cities of 21st century America)
