Some days, I just do not get liberal BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). Case in point:
Yes, last Thursday the country experienced an uncomfortable moment when the President of the United States reassured us that the government was not “trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans.” Apparently W’s speech writing staff doesn’t know that trolling is slang for an older gay man cruising for anonymous sex with younger men.
Miss Katrina Vanden Heuvel really had to dig for that. Of course, that is a slang definition from the Urban Dictionary, rather then the real one. For most of us, trolling means cruising slowly to catch fish, which, of course, led to the use of the word to mean cruising for women. It’s also what Liberals do when they drop by a Conservative website and drop a comment that is full of typical Liberal hatred and has only the most tenuous of links to the actual post.
Of course, maybe Katrina, as an editor at the Nation, is just trolling for readers for the Nation’s “Dictionary of Republicanisms, a guide to the Orwellian phrases the Republicans have introduced into American politics.” Somehow I ended up on their freakin’ email list. More loons gone wild.
