Awesome, and Jessi Jackson should be given a government position as Secretary of Rhyming Rhetoric.

From the page: "Sometimes you just have to hand it to the Obama administration. What better way to signal a new beginning than to rename the boring old War on Terror as the Overseas Contingency Operation? The phrase has an almost Dadaist purity, like that random-word spam we all used to get a few years ago. And you can't deny that whenever anyone hears the phrase "Overseas Contingency Operation," the first thing they'll think of is a violent struggle against Islamic extremists. Either that or airline scheduling software. Anyway, Obama is nothing if not ambitious, and he seems determined to extend his revolution to every area of life. That's going to require a lot more Newspeak phrases. Yet think of all the hours that must have gone into devising "Overseas Contingency Operation"! Since it's the duty of every citizen to help our president in this time of crisis, The Tank presents the Obama-Matic (TM) Content-Free Euphemism Generator (patent pending), to simplify the critically important job of governmental obfuscation.
