United Nations

A group of nations whose purpose is increasingly irrelevant; whose widespread corruption is now coming to light.

The corruption of the United Nations is growing unchecked. Can't wait 'till Annan tries to explain the "Oil-for-Food" program.

liberal

1. An individual or group of individuals that embrace all views...unless you disagree with them.

2. Most of the media.

3. One who would rather take away your constitutional right to bear arms, then to take away bin Laden's or Saddam's weapons.

Today's liberals want to make the world a better place...as long as they don't have to make the big sacrifices, and someone else does.

clintonesque

Having Clinton-like qualities. In matters of speech, to parse the English language so painfully at a direct question as to avoid responsibility for your own actions. In matters of conduct, to be more interested in #1, instead of the greater good.

His actions as well as speech are rather clintonesque.

Viper

1. One of the fastest production cars built. Not too well-mannered, but the ultimate sports car nonetheless.

2. Oh, yeah...an Old World snake with a thick, heavy body, and a pair of hollow fangs; adder.

"That guy's Viper is a real Corvette killer."
