theocrat

1. An advocate of government by clerics, since God himself hasn't shown up at any meetings in nearly two millenia; not just a disbeliever in the separation of church and state, but someone who wants the church to control the state.

2. What the left often accuses President George W. Bush of being, despite the dearth of evangelicals, let alone clerics, in his cabinet.
If you want real theocrats, go to Iran.

Barbara Billingsley

b. December 12, 1915. Played June Cleaver on _Leave it to Beaver_ (1957-1963). Had trouble finding work after the show was cancelled due to typecasting, but this worked to her advantage for the producers of the 1980 comedy movie _Airplane!_. Seeing the actress best known for playing the squeaky-clean Mrs. Cleaver speaking "jive" had audiences laughing until they couldn't breathe.

NPR

National Peoplesrepublic Radio. Taxpayer- and corporate-funded radio network which leans almost as far to the left as Amy Goodwin. Regular commentators have included the late Michael Harrington, founder of Democratic Socialists of America.
"I watched the Brit Hume show on Fox News last night, and two of the panelists were from NPR. But everyone says Fox is biased to the right!"

"It is. If Fox really wanted to be fair, all of their panelists would be from NPR."

conservative bias

What liberals accuse any news outlet or commentator who disagrees with them of having (liberals usually deny the existence of liberal bias, since they like to think they're too open-minded to be biased). The term is most frequently directed at Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, and anyone who shows even a hint of civility to Ann Coulter.

Some ultra-left commentators such as Amy Goodwin, Eric Alterman, and Noam Chomsky have tried to prove that mainstream media, widely known for its liberal bias, actually leans to the right, but mostly on the grounds that it doesn't lean as far to the left as they do.
"I never listen to talk radio. There's just too much conservative bias!"

"But if you don't listen, how would you know?"

"Uh, well. . . hey, here's my bus!"
