FDR

The thirty-second President of the United States. Guided the U.S. through World War II, helped millions of Depression-stricken Americans with his relief programs, and instituted the remarkably effective Tennessee Valley Authority.

FDR kicked ass.

Beloved 

An incredibly overrated book. Makes little to no sense. Jumps around between settings, points of view and even tenses without warning.

Also the title of a movie based on the book. The movie stars Oprah.

I looked for hidden significance in "Beloved," but I was too busy trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

Toni Morrison

See choadarific.

Toni Morrison may have been on one or more controlled substances while writing "Beloved."

Spiro Agnew 

Richard M. Nixon's vice president. Resigned in 1973 due to scandal. Coined such phrases as "nattering nabobs of negativism."

Spiro Agnew thinks you're all pusillanimous pussyfooters.

nattering nabobs of negativism 

The coolest thing Spiro Agnew ever said.

Spiro Agnew called the press "nattering nabobs of negativism" in his speech the other day.
