 Urban Dictionary gives 'Harry Reid' an unflattering new definition
New York Daily News
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid now has more in common with former Senate Republican Rick Santorum than he may like.




He styled himself a Muslim ascetic, a billionaire’s son who gave up a life of privilege for the cause. But he was media savvy and acutely image-conscious.

He summoned reporters to a cave in Afghanistan when he needed to get his message out, but like the most controlling of C.E.O.’s he insisted on receiving written questions in advance.

What's in a name? Ask any new parents who are trying to come up with a moniker for their newborn. It's one of the first major decisions they make for their baby, and they want to get it right. The US Social Security Administration recently released its list of top American baby names for 2007. For the 12th straight year, Emily tops the list for girls and, for the ninth year, Jacob is No. 1 for boys. Biblical names are popular for boys: the others in the top five were Michael, Joshua, Matthew and Ethan. Rounding out the top five girls' names are Isabella, Emma, Ava and Madison.

The prime minister's lack of leadership was underscored by the latest Cabinet reshuffle, which he was said to have been forced into. Senior LDP executives have gone so far as to refer to his Cabinet by the unflattering moniker of "Guzu Naikaku" (Slowpoke Cabinet).
