Microsoft Nicknames
Any of the numerous nicknames applied to one of the most disgusting corporations on the planet, along with its founder, Bill Gates (collectively known as Billysoft).
I'm sick and tired of getting Microshafted, Microscammed and Microfucked by Billysoft (aka Micro$oft M$), from Microsludge (e.g. Windoze, M$ Office, Internet Exploder) to brainless Microslaves and loud-mouthed Microsoft whores, from phony pHilanthropists with bad haircuts to black$Mail! (P.S. These are all examples of Microsoft Nicknames, which offer a powerful clue to GET A MAC.)

Vista
noun...
1) Microsoft's latest - and perhaps last - major operating system upgrade (unless you count its legendary "service packs" as upgrades)
2) A not so clever copy of Apple Mac's operating system
3) The latest evidence that Bill Gates is losing his grip on sanity
4) A bizarre suicidal move that may be recalled by future generations as "Hasta la Vista, Microsoft"
verb...
1) To self-destruct
2) To copy another software program

The Seattle Mafia may celebrate Vista, but most people around the world regard it as a mechanical version of George W. Bush.
verb...
Bill Gates: Shall we Vista another Mac program, or shall we try our hand at innovation this time around?

Internet Explorer
A not surprisingly crappy browser created by Microsoft, apparently for the purpose of making web designers' jobs twice as hard, largely because of Bill Gates' arrogant disdain for any standards but his own.
Shall we continue investing our time in writing "hacks" to make our web pages display properly in Internet Explorer, or shall we just start designing for quality browsers instead?

Chavez
George W. Bush is a mean-spirited moron, mass murderer and traitor who whores for corporations at his own citizens' expense, while Hugo Chavez is a gutsy firebrand who champions socialism in the broad sense of the term, holding capitalistic pigs accountable as a strategy for helping the general public

Invisible Republic
The fifth incarnation of the United States...
1) Democratic republic (for whites, at least)
2) More politicized nation with stronger federal government forged by the Civil War
3) Empire, with overseas possessions, beginning with the Spanish American War and annexation of Hawaii in 1898
4) Frighteningly corrupt and bizarre corporate conglomerate, as became frighteningly apparent after George W. Bush's theft of the White House in 2000 and the 9/11 terrorist attacks he exploited so ruthlessly
5) The next stage in the evolution of the United States, which can't be predicted with certainty but will hopefully be an "invisible republic" in the tradition of a campfire discussion featured in the late environmental activist Edward Abbey's book Desert Solitaire.

An Invisible Republic (or fifth republic) would presumably follow a fifth major revolution:
1) The "American Revolution," which ended with an independent United States
2) The Civil War, which freed the slaves but arguably did much to wreck the U.S. as a whole
3) The socialist revolution of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which did so much to help American workers
4) The "flower power" rebellion of the 1960s and 1970s, which did so much for civil rights and the environment and perhaps helped end the war in Vietnam
5) It will probably take an even bigger movement, whether peaceful or violent, to wrest control of the U.S. from corporations and hold people like George W. Bush and Bill Gates accountable.

Democratic Underground
1. online rallying center for assorted liberals, progressives and left-leaning independents that are fed up with the Democratic Party's right-wing tilt - and prove it by campaigning for right-wing candidates like Al Gore, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton<br>
2. a wet dream for Seattle's liberal peace pussies, who prefer to rant about a problem rather than lift a finger to fix it
3. hypocritical online forum that criticizes Republican corruption while ignoring the sins of the National Education Association, which supports the corrupt Democratic Party

Democratic Underground is a great place to keep up on current events and pick up some cool political nicknames, insults or one-liners. Now if I could just find a collection of armchair politicians who are interested in fixing a problem or two...
