BACHMANNALIA: 1. The sound wild-eyed gibberish makes in a rubber room. 2. An election-year holiday celebrating the unity of corporate money and gullible voters with sensibilities as squishy as wet teabags. 3. A sexless outdoor orgy in Minnesota in mid-winter, the quintessential Republican idea of how the public should be treated.

BACHMANNLINESS: 1. Putting on your 'man pants' backwards with the fly down, while staring at the wrong camera.

BLUTOCRACY: 1. A plutocracy as operated by Sen. John Blutarsky, the fictional 'Bluto' character from the film "Animal House," and those who are likeminded. 2. The USA today, and not the newspaper. 3. A typical Wall Street week.

BOEHNALITY: 1. Crocodile tears shed by one who is only half-crocked most of the time. 2. Pretending you're in control of something you plainly are not, such as a bus when the steering wheel has come off in your hand. 3. The illusion that you stand for much of anything beyond your bank account and your next putt. 4. A reliance on tanning beds for wisdom.

CALIPHATE: 1. In a ten-gallon hat, combine eleven-gallons horse manure with equal parts leftover Cold War fear and carbonated Holy Water; add a hefty scoop of Islamophobia, smother with nuts, and top with a lemon slice carved into the shape of a swastika or a cherry carved into the shape of a star. Strain through Fox News and serve at the temperature at which blood boils.

CRAPITALISM: 1. An unregulated form of capitalism practiced by well-dressed carnival pitchmen that turns everything it touches to pure sh*t, commonly ruining the lives of a few million civilians in the process. 2. The hypotheses adhered to by many of the financial elite that the light at the end of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public's tunnel must always be a privately-owned oncoming train in order for them to prosper. 3. The theory that enough taxpayer money, filtered through a nation's banks and large corporations, can persuade the political class and the media to say or do anything, and that much of that money must then be used to prolong the ignorance of the taxpayers from realizing they are financing the scheme.

THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS: 1. The assortment of adjectives, verbs and adverbs Jonah Goldberg uses to, without irony, accuse liberals of fascism and blame them for all of the misery visited on the public in the past 30 years by those who think like Jonah Goldberg.

KOCHAINE: 1. Money secretly doled out by the wealthy to influence public opinion in their favor, opinions which are usually contrary to the public interest or even common sense. 2. The primary addiction of Washington lobbyists and prominent politicians of both parties, causing them to lie, cheat and commit desperate degenerate acts to continue their dependence, that is strangely not included on the DEA's list of dangerous drugs deserving long prison terms, but certainly should be.

LUNTZTITUTION: 1. The creation of government policy or public outrage based on buzzwords or catch phrases invented by Frank Luntz that have little or no relationship to the reality of the subject; e.g.: describing an orange as a 'bad apple,' a grapefruit as a 'cancerous lemon,' or brown smog as 'clean air.' 2. Any doomed political party or corporation that believes such linguistic concoctions are anything more than a thin disguise for its true purpose of picking the public's pocket or skinning the yokels to the bone.

POLYPSYCHOTIC: 1. Capable of jabbering delirium in more than one medium. 2. The conservative media endlessly parroting the same right-wing talking points.

PROLESSIVISM: 1. "Two For Me and None For You." A game played by the US Chamber of Congress – excuse me, 'Commerce' – their financial backers and various politicians, such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The point of the game is to convince voters that balancing budgets and lowering taxes for the over-privileged is more important than their jobs, pensions, homes, or eating regular meals. It is akin to the "Sure I'm Jobless and Broke, But at Least I Don't Have to Worry About Bank Overdraft Fees Anymore" game indulged in by millions of less fortunate Americans every day, except much more profitable for the major players.

SOLIPSIMPSONISM: 1. The belief that the best way to clean the ears is by passing a handkerchief through the head while wearing a blindfold and a shoe in one's mouth. 2. The conviction that unworkable remedies that cause public suffering will resolve budget ills if inartfully expressed at length. From Solipsimpson: A dried-up old boob with 300 million nipples.

"My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."
-- Sen. John "Bluto" Blutarsky, from the film "Animal House" (1978).
