Thanks for the info. I actively dislike that woman, though. I usually
have trouble getting all the way through one of her columns without
swearing at her under my breath.

Not that this impacts her views any, but she
was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and
has been (as one would expect) encouraging women
to "Get. The. D*mn. Mammogram."  (Actual quote,
with apologies to LUGNET ToU.)

It IS a good coinage as it sort of rhymes with "bubba".

As in "Mumble Bubba Dubya B."?  :^)

(...) No, as in "The pundits were predicting that Bubba's successor would either be wood-boy or Dubya, but a miracle happened and we inaugurated our first Libertarian president in 2001"... :-) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
