Or, put a more accurate way, kind of like what has happened to this country
since the Chimp took over.

[Meteorite Content] Has anyone seen the new comet in the sky yet? It was
shown on the tube this morning and it looks like it could get quite
spectacular! Maybe it'll drop a meteorite on my house. I'm only 250 miles
from NJ! lol

ANAHEIM, California (AP) - Pluto is finally getting
some respect - from wordsmiths.
"Plutoed'' was chosen 2006 Word of the Year by
the American Dialect Society at its annual meeting on
Friday.
To "pluto'' is "to demote or devalue someone or
something'' much like what happened to the former
planet last year when the General Assembly of the
International Astronomical Union decided Pluto did
not meet its definition of a planet...
The 117-year-old organization includes linguists,
grammarians, historians and independent scholars.
In conducting the vote, members do so for fun and
not in any official capacity of inducting words into
the English language.
