punditocracy

The universe of the mainstream media (pundits) talking heads who tell the general population what to think. Their aim is to influence the political landscape by their erudite utterances. Their stock and trade is opinion, rather than fact with both generally being pulled out of their asses. The punditocracy thinks more of itself than those who listen to it.

Rush Limbaugh. Robert Novack. Ann Coulter. Cal Thomas.

astroturf

v. The technique of using boiler plate text to advance a political agenda. "Astroturfing" is typically done by sending the same letter to every newspaper one can find. A certain number of newspapers will be duped into thinking that the letter is original and heartfelt when it is neither.

Many newspapers were astroturfed with the pro-Bush letters posted at the pResident's web site. Many newspapers were convinced that a number of soldiers worship Bush as the Messiah incarnate.

raisin head

Term for brand new American naval recruits the first few weeks of boot camp at the Great Lakes (Chicago, IL) Recruit Training Center (RTC). The term comes about as new recruits start off wearing black watch caps (knit stocking caps) instead of the classic white "dixie cup" hat of the traditional US Navy enlisted man.

Man, those raisin heads sure are a sorry bunch.
