How to Speak Republican
Talking to a Republican can be frustrating. Often, it seems like they are speaking an entirely different language -- and in many cases, they are! For this reason, in the hopes of facilitating cross-party dialogue and mutual understanding, I have compiled what I believe to be the first comprehensive Republican-to-English dictionary, featuring words commonly used by Republicans, and their English translations, alphabetized for your convenience:
America (United States of): A country located in the N. Western Hemisphere that is #1.
Bible: A sacred text that provides incontestable answers when thumped.
Birth Certificate: An official birth record required of all US Presidents, regardless of race, since 2008.
Capitalism: A system of economic organization that has never been attempted.
Christmas: A holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, now rarely celebrated due to persecution by atheists.
Compromise: (uncommon) A form of political suicide.
Coast (East): A very bad coast of the continental United States.
Coast (West): Another really inexcusable coast.
Communism: The belief that the government should ever do anything.
Condescending: Accurately informed.
Constitution (U.S.): The hallowed founding document of the United States, the text of which must be interpreted strictly and amended immediately.
Corporations: Large people who are overtaxed.
Deficits: 1) Fiscal shortfalls incurred by Democrats that threaten to bankrupt the country. 2) Fiscal shortfalls incurred by Republicans that don't matter.
Democrat: A political party.
Election: A method of selecting representatives, the fraudulence of which may be determined by the outcome.

Endangered Species: Animals that have it coming.

Homosexuality: A membership-only lifestyle organization that perpetuates itself through youth recruitment.

League (Ivy): an association of eight Eastern universities and colleges, the lack of a fancy education from which qualifies a candidate for political office.
Liberal: A person who should be rounded up and shot but not really.

Sheep
That's what you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is not a bad dream."
-Roger Walters

92 Degrees Fahrenheit
I have always wanted to know where the sound bite in the beginning of the song "92 Degrees" by Siouxsie and the Banshees came from. While I was reading the comments posted for the video, I learned that it came from the movie "It Came from Outer Space" written by Ray Bradbury. As I continued to read more comments I learned that the line of dialogue is very similar to a Ray Bradbury short story titled "Shopping For Death". So I search for Shopping For Death and found out that Alfred Hitchcock used it for one of his episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Siouxie + Ray Bradbury + Alfred Hitchcock = an awesome combination.
