Transparent hypocrisy - like preaching temperance from a bar stool; C-SPAN (seen all those televised proceedings that were promised during the election campaigns?);
- like claiming to be a patriot while giving aid and comfort to the enemy (raising a question about whether the Supreme court decision might somehow eventually allow an imbalance in citizens rights while granting a non-citizen terrorist the full legal rights of a citizen)
- is like worrying about global warming, but not about your globetrotting airplane habit or mansion-sized electric bill

If-Asked-Don't-Tell - is a policy position reserved for the formerely-unbiased press of suddenly being "blind-deaf-and dumb" about any recognition of wrongdoing, unethical behavior, or corruption by any noteworthy liberal.
It especially applies to any politician that was ideologically (or even financially) supported by that same news media "opinion machine" - and relates to the "separation of press and state".

Q - "Did you hear about the Democrat Congressman who..?"
A - "Shhhh - we have an If-Asked-Don't-Tell policy and I can't comment on that - and I have a deadline for a Palin expose'.."
(Similar to the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy regarding sexual deviance - except that it applies to a deviation from ethics and good journalism - or both)

audASSity - is the petty, pompous, and immature approach often taken to demean or diminish or refute or castigate one's fellow man with whom that audASSious person disagrees.
HE: Did you hear what that politician said about their opponent?
SHE: You mean about the "moats and alligators"..?
HE: Yes, the audASSity of some people..!!
SHE: Looks like transparent hypocrisy to me..
HE: Yep, just another suBBtle reminder...

TowerTazer - an ankle bracelet device with an audible alarm and electronic shock feature that awakens any person who is not moving for more than 5 minutes...
HE: Did you hear that air traffic controllers have a behavior problem and are putting us all at risk?
SHE: Yes, and a TowerTazer could put a stop to that..!
HE: Wonder what the ACLU/Unions will say about this..
SHE: Probably want paid naps...and more sleepy workers...
HE: Maybe we need to all join CAGI...the citizen's union..
SHE: Yes, and a TowerTazer could put a stop to that..!

Thumb-drive control - gets to the source of terrorism and prevents their use of guns as well..
Thumb drives cause terrorism (like guns cause killings). But we can reduce terrorism - by thumb-drive control - with regulations that take away the key device that terrorists use to promote killing. Raising taxes on thumb-drive sales could escalate the impact of this control.
Selling "thumbs-down" ribbons and bumper stickers will rally the supporters (- but you can expect some "sore-thumb" ideologues... to oppose it).

HE: Did you hear that terrorists are using thumb-drives to communicate?
SHE: We need thumb-drive control to put a stop to terrorism
HE: I wonder if brain control is needed here..?
SHE: What does that have to do with terrorism - or guns?

cross hares - (synonym= nasty rabbits) folks who respond to suggestions by the formerly unbiased press - like a bunch of scared defenseless bunnies (hares) - to anyone who dares to challenge (cross) their thinking or utter terms that they can take out of context to claim that they are personally offended - in order to exercise what little power they think they have over others.
Recent trend by some "cross hares" who claim to be offended so they can openly despise and react in anger and rage against those who they claim ...cling to their "guns" and The "Cross", etc.
Recent examples of feigned offense include terms like "cross-hairs", "gun" unless used in gun-control, "target" unless they are going shopping, "aim" unless it is something they "aim to do" against others, "cross" when used in a biblical context, the letter "T" unless THEY use it to call a peaceful patriotic grass movement... "T-baggers", etc.)
