I'm a Bush supporter, but I'll play along:

• Dr. Stranglehold (Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Saddam) -- For the whole Mess-o-potamia, as Jon Stewart calls it. Or maybe a less similar name, like Dr. Quagmire.

If I get bored, more later.

Operation Iraqi ...

... Bumbledom ... Conundrum ... Martyrdom ... Aggravation ... Annexation ... Assimilation ... Colonization ... Fragmentacion ... Frustration

Maybe later I'll do more.

That was fun. Employed, J-school headline writers everywhere are sooo over... "Name That Bush Scandal" Contest Winners To commemorate the Second Inauguration of President George W. Bush, Perrspectives is pleased to announce the winners of the "Name That Bush Scandal" Contest which concluded at noon EST, January 20, 2005.

Perrspectives received entries from all over the United States (and the world, for that matter). We'd like to thank everyone who participated for their creativity, spirit, energy and, given the election results, understandable angst. But while America may be the place where , to quote President Bush, "wings take dream", unfortunately only a select few can be recognized as winners.

... The Award Winners

Perrspectives is pleased to announce the award winners, the newest members of George W. Bush's "Ownership Society":

The George W. Bush Award: Jeff (Minnesota)

Jeff wins an Apple Mini-iPod for providing the best overall list of names for all 10 scandals listed below. His entries included "Premature Emancipation" (Bush's USS Abraham Lincoln "Mission Accomplished" speech), "Whack-a-Mole" (Valerie Plame CIA outing), "Rice Cake" (bogus Niger uranium claims), "Medicon" (the assorted Medicare reform frauds) and "If the Superscripts Don't Fit, You Must Acquit" (Bush National Guard records).

... The Bernard Kerik Award: Steve (Oregon)

Another $25 gift certificate goes to Steve for the biggest joke and perhaps most apt suggestion of all, "George of the Bungle."
