High Baractane Summer Reading

Has your excitement for Barack Obama given you Baroxysms? Have you noted the fervor of some female Obamazons? Learn more about this political fever in Obamamania! The English Language, Barackafied, to be released in July by the editors of Slate. The satirical dictionary delights in the many possible permutations of the candidate's name, while taking some light jabs at Obama and his avid supporters. Obombies (zombielike supporters who cannot name a single policy position) and Baracademics (Obama's professorial base) get lampooned. If Obama gets the nomination, this book could be essential reading—even for those who don't believe in the Obamessiah.
