This morning on NPR's "Morning Edition" Nina Totenberg used a word I had never heard before. She was describing what the nomination hearings would be like if Bush decided to go ahead and nominate Clarence Thomas to be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: she said there would be a "donnybrook"....
It sounded irish and like it meant something like "brouhaha" - Bill said "kerfuffel" -- all of which are great words.
Anyway here's a link explaining the term in great detail.
And I added "radio" as a category, since I don't watch television: DVD's of TV shows, yes, but we don't have cable, so no TV. (I've probably mentioned this here before). The only show I vaguely miss is The Daily Show, which I could watch on the computer if I really wanted to.
Now I must go prepare a yummy Indian dinner! (prepackaged meals, but they're pretty good and we have Garlic Naan to go with them and I'll make some rice).
