media haze

confusion either induced by the media or from which the media suffers; when the media obfuscates rather than enlightens.

I hope and pray that the American people can cut through the endless media haze and partisan nonsense and finally pick some responsible and intelligent leaders.

O'Brien

a white suprecemacist leader that George Costanza impersonated to get a free ride in a limo. George's lie nearly cost him his life, as he faced being torn limb-from-limb by an angry mob, or being shot by angry neo-Nazi's.

We're not sure how he got out of this dilemma, as the show ended with him still in grave danger, but he seemed okay in the next episode.

George: I am not O'Brien! I am not O'Brien! I'm not O'Brien!

Budd Dwyer

Pennsylvania state Treasurer who committed suicide on TV in 1987. He was about to be sentenced and sent to prison. He called a press conference, read his suicide note, and blew his brains out with a .357 magnum.

It was snowing that day in Harrisburg, and lots of kids were home from school. Their cartoons were interrupted by this breaking news, in all its graphic glory.

Seared lots of young minds, it did. And this was pre-internet, mind you, so they weren't used to seeing stuff.

Whoh, did you see that? That Budd Dwyer dude just blew his fucking brains out!

Budd Dwyer

crack pipe

what people tell you to put down, when you say something stupid.

Stupid Person: How many calories does water have?

Me: Put down the crack pipe. It doesn't have any, it's water.

crack

a now obsolete adjective popular as a business buzzword among yuppies in the early eighties. It described a worker who was very smart and very fast-paced.

This meaning of "crack" was forced out by the drug, crack, in the mid-eighties. Sort of like you can't say "gay" to mean "happy" anymore.

That was a good move to hire him; he's crack.
