N.Z. Bear at
The Truth Laid Bear reports that
Merriam-Webster Inc. has announced that "blog" is the most searched-on word from its sites.
N.Z. Bear then goes on with this:
bq. The full list is:
bq. 1. blog
2. incumbent
3. electoral
4. insurgent
5. hurricane
6. cicada
7. peloton
8. partisan
9. sovereignty
10. defenestration
bq. Which, of course, absolutely demands that we rise to the challenge of using all ten words in a sentence. Here's my entry:
In 2004, while the vast
peloton of the mainstream media peddled furiously onward in an
electoral campaign aimed at the
defenstration of
incumbent President Bush, the
insurgent forces of the
blog world unleashed a
hurricane of criticism on the media itself, plaguing Dan Rather and other liberal talking heads like a swarm of
cicadas, slowly but inexorably devouring Big Media's
sovereignty as sole arbiters of Truth and exposing them as the
partisan hacks we always knew them to be.
Heh...
