Anec-Dotage

Old age senility evidenced by oral comments or writings which are as nostalgic as they are stupid.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman...?" -- Clearly, old Slick Willie was conveying his Anec-Dotage.

Obalming

A process of mass hypnosis whereby the general public is mentally mesmerized through the soft repetition of the words "change" and "hope". Victims of this manifestation become zombie-like non-thinking beings, all of whom gape and stare just as if they have been embalmed.

"You should have seen coming out of the voting booths, walking like Frankenstein and staring straight ahead -- clearly, some heavy-duty obalming has transformed them all from their normal, thinking selves."

Hillarule

A rule, law, or other statute which has been bent, defied, and/or otherwise violated for the specific purpose of personally benefiting the perpetrator.

"Well, if a Hillarule is invoked, the Democrats in Michigan and Florida will actually have their 2007 primary election votes counted as valid."

Hilliary

Hillary Clinton's (rumored) actual Christian name before she had it changed for public relations reasons. It's also rumored that she had been dubbed by her high school peers as "The H".

"Did you hear Hilliary Clinton spin that tale about being under sniper fire when she landed in Bosnia? What a whopper!"
