baskless

When a person wishes to be basking in the glory of something or someone, but is unable to due to proximity issues, weather conditions, or traffic delays.

I wanted to bask in his glory, but alas, he was gone before I got there. I was baskless, sad, and alone.

I wish I was basking in the sun, but I am not. I will be pale, lame and baskless for the rest of time

Baseline Budgeting

The complete bullshit accounting practice of using ever-increasing spending and revenues as the starting point. This assumes that the private sector of an economy will grow at a steady pace regardless of government's interference by way of more regulations and removing the incentives to produce. Also allows political parties to cry over "cuts" which are in reality projecting spending increases below their current baseline.

John Boner announced $1T in cuts over ten years using baseline budgeting, but the actual numbers show steady increases in Federal Spending.

basal book

A "basal book" is one that is absolutely crucial to a particular academic discipline or profession, a book that everyone who knows anything knows about. It is a book (or perhaps an article) that forms the basis for understanding a certain topic or joining a certain conversation. It is often the sort of book that everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. It is always the sort of book or article that cannot be digested properly by reading it all the way through just once, but must be studied and digested (analytical reading helps with this).

Greg Glassman's article "What is Fitness?" is a basal article for the Crossfit movement.

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" is a basal book for the environmentalist movement.

"Mein Kampf" is a basal book for the Nazi movement.
