Ahmed Chalabi

An international criminal who will bring law and order to Iraq. At least according to Bush.

Yanno, there are times when I think Baghdad Bob was right; most Americans think Iraqis are retarded, but we are retarded.

Ward Churchill

Wannabe Indian ethnic studies professor whose credentials no one bothered to check until he questioned Bush. Unlike David Yeagley, a wannabe Indian who couldn't decide his field and follows Bush lock-step and therefore is unquestioned even though his credentials are as suspect as Churchill's.

Now if only we could get all the wannabes to go the way of Ward Churchill.

around the world

A trip to France, a trip to the Vatican, and a trip to Greece. Sometimes the position adds others onto it.

I'll give you $25 for an around the world with a stop at Barcelona.

neoliberal

Not to be confused with classical liberalism or theological neoliberalism, these people believe that a free market brings democracy. The classic neoliberal success story is Chile, which under Allende was a socialist democracy. Under Pinochet, the man the neoliberals brought in to replace him, it was a capitalist dictatorship. Famous for fighting with Argentina over uninhabited islands of no strategic importance. Also known as Thatcherists or neoconservatives.

Ultimately, both parties are neoliberal. It just happens the Demos use some lube when they fuck the world.

Serdar Argic

The first automated spammer, Argic was an AI program which would grep for messages containing "turkey" or "armenia" and then reply about how two and a half million Turks were supposedly killed by Armenians during World War I, even though history remembers it the other way. He would sprinkle in various childish insults like "gum brain" and assume everyone online was Armenian.

"Any recipes for turkey surprise?" "Ask your CRIMINAL Armenian grandparents, gum brain!"

NeoCon

Despite the name, neocons are neither new nor conservative. Neocons favor globalization, upper-class tax cuts to bankrupt the government, taxing only earned income, teaching that masturbation can cause pregnancy, banning gay marriage, ruling the world, and election systems which don't have a paper trail. Don't try to converse with neocons; they take any sort of criticism as censorship, and will often resort Serdar Argic-style debate tactics.
