A twitter friend just started posting links to your blog – it’s a great read 🙂
i do not like the new word (Eurabia) ! I AM ARAB AND MUSLIM AND proud to be it because if you take a vision on history of europe you will find that there was a word like ARABEU !its means the europeans colonialism !!
“Deather” is a nice play on “birther” — one who persists in believing the zombie lie that Barack Obama was not born in the US.
“Nativism” is, alas, far from a new word in American politics. This ugly current has run through US history for centuries. Ironically, it’s not Native Americans who raise the issue, but the descendants of European immigrants who claim to be “real” Americans.
may be it’s a good thing for a language to get some new words, but it’s also good to know their origine. We need to know if they don’t hurt other people.
