Need help coming up with a title for an article I'm writing
I'm doing a look at how the obvious right wing "news" outlets have been way more positive in their description of the war and "post" war in Iraq. This is the only idea I've had so far:

Pandering Putzes of Positivism

Any other suggestions along those kind of lines would be great.

6. Swearing in Yiddish
Putz means "penis" (erect or otherwise) in Yiddish.

Still, maybe you should consider this a worthy excuse to cultivate your skill in non-expletive invective. It's an exercise certain to firm up your moral fibre.

Stout fellow!

8. it's not so much a critique of the Bush administration
as it is the right wing media's almost criminal bullshitting of the american public about what's going on over there...

10. How bout the Pandering Putzes of Positivist Revisionism.
Historical revisionism is one of the blithering idiots favorite lines.

11. Why reinvent the wheel?
The whole thing is another case of The Emperor's New Clothes, if you ask me. Only a handful of people are not toadying and claiming he's wearing robes of gold, but is starkers and butt-ugly to boot.

14. Prattling Purveyors of Positivism
