sprawl

The term to describe unplanned and rampant suburban and urban growth because of the way it eats up the landscape and "sprawls" out the extent of a metropolitan area. Typical things associated with sprawl are megastores, identical housing, large yards, and 8-lane roads.

Las Vegas, Phoenix, Orlando are products of sprawl, in addition to millions of suburbs everywhere.

exurb

A sparsely populated area, that is currently making the transition from rural to suburban, located usually on the fringes of a metropolitan area. Often times, it may be populated by wealthy estates, hobby farms, as well as existing rural towns, and usually with larger, more-mainstream suburban development on the brink of happening.

That exurb is growing so fast that the town can barely keep up the services to allow it to function.

george w. bush

A president who actually has the balls to make an effort to change the world, get rid of terrorism, rebuild the Gulf Coast, improve the economy, cut taxes, lower unemployment, promote faith-based initiatives, hold educators accountable, cut down on abortions, and sustain the right of the American people to use firearms. Non-voters, communists, liberals, sheep, and people with IQs lower than 100 get satisfaction out of saying things like he looks like a monkey, is stupid, and blame him for high gas prices and acts of nature. Yet the voting public will continue to vote in Republicans because Republicans are ethical, optimistic, belive in freedom, and actually make progress while in office, instead of the Democrats who are famous for being corrupt, initiating military drafts, raising taxes and pouring it into stupid healthcare and welfare programs that don't do shit, getting blow jobs from interns, and launching random cruise missiles.

George W. Bush deserves a 3rd term, so we can continue to spread freedom, a free market economy, and Christianity around the world.
