That Thing We Do

Over on the Al Franken Show’s blog, Eric Hananoki asks the uncivil question:

What should we call the Iraq war if we refuse to call it a “civil war”?

E.g. “that thing over there.”

There’s a link where readers can submit their suggestions.

Some of the responses are in a later post. A few of my favorites:

Mark M = Ongoing celebratory gunfire

Alex C = Cross Cultural Exchange of Gunfire

Jim B = CSI – Everywhere

There are also suggestions in the comments of both posts. One commenter suggested “That thing we do.” Before you venture into the comments, be warned: there’s some strong language there.
