iSlate

1. The next wave of personal computing from Apple.

Set to be introduced in late spring or early summer 2010, the Apple iSlate is a new tablet computer with a high-resolution touch screen and sleek black design. The device is about the size of a telephone book cover, but less than 1/2-inch thick.

The iSlate offers all the functionality of an Apple laptop (e.g., iMac Air), but in a sleek one-piece design with many new extras. The virtual keyboard is similar to the iPod "electronic keyboard," but is almost the same size as a regular physical keyboard.

Besides thousands of computer applications, the iSlate also plays movies, music and games. With optional services, it can also work as a video-conferencing device (using the built-in video camera) and a telephone. Of course, it comes with built-in WiFi access and optional 3G wireless Internet access.

The iSlate takes advantage of recent advances in super-thin flash memory, battery design, smudge-resistant coatings and thin-film transistor display technology. Essentially, the iSlate is an advanced next generation "hybrid" of the iPod Touch, iPhone and MacBook Air laptop, but with many new cool features and a stunning new user experience. It may eventually replace the standard laptop for many users.

Did you see that story about Barack Obama being a secret Muslim who was actually born in Indonesia? It was invented by that serial Newsfaker in Abeline, Texas.

Book Crook

Someone who makes money by stealing books from the local public library, then reselling them online, after removing the security tags and identifying marks.
The book crooks wiped out our entire collection of automotive repair manuals.

Hutaree Militia

1. A radical right-wing militia group based in Lenawee County, Michigan, about 30 miles southwest of Ann Arbor. The word "Huntaree" means "Christian Warrior" in the group's secret language. (A related Huntaree group is located in Utah.)

2. A group of idiots who believe that Christ wants them to murder police officers and start a global insurrection.

Members of the Militia come from Michigan, Ohio, Utah and Indiana. They are convinced that a war against the Anti-Christ is imminent and they identify the enemy as the U.S. government. In late March 2010, nine members of the Hutaree Militia were arrested for plotting to kill local law enforcement officials, an act they believed would "spark" a national uprising against the government.

The Militia was led by David Brian Stone, who trained his members in paramilitary operations using semi-automatic weapons and mock roadside bombs. Their plan was to murder a local police officer and then bomb the funeral, leading to the mass slaughter of dozens if not hundreds of local and state police officials. All in the name of Christ.
"Did you hear about that Hutaree Militia group in Adrian? They think FEMA is building secret concentration camps. I hear they're big fans of Glen Beck."

Pad Lad

1. Someone who constantly flaunts his ownership of the new Apple iPad. Pad Lads feel compelled to "demonstrate" the system complete strangers, whether they're interested or not.

2. One of Steve Jobs' techno-hypnotic minions.
I know you're a Pad Lad, David. Everyone's very impressed. But can we please talk about something else?

Obomination

A morally repugnant act, suggestion or idea associated with Barack Obama; a pejorative word used by right-wing political activists to discredit mainstream positions of the Democratic party and/or Sen. Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign; a slur against a black political candidate masquerading as a religious objection.
It's an Obomination to raise taxes on the rich in any way!

Junker Flunker

1. An old car that doesn't qualify for the $4,500 cash trade-in incentive from the government because it gets more than 15 mpg.
2. The sudden realization that your old beater vehicle is lost in the twilight zone between "generally worthless" and "totally worthless," forcing you to keep driving it for another year -- at least.
"I just looked up the mileage for my 1996 RAV4. The stupid Junker Flunker gets 16 mpg, which means I won't be getting any of that government cash after all. Drat!"
