My lover and I have been wincing in unison whenever John McCain has brought up the "goodies" that Obama's favorite piece of legislation procured for oil firms in a debate. Just something about an old white dude talking about "goodies" is incredibly off-putting.
But today Matt Yglesias muses on "goodies for Israel" and John Holbo mentions the "extras and goodies" that come with some web page subscription. I do not at all approve of this term catching on.
I don't approve of "blood and treasure". It was ok for John Adams to say, but that's not how we talk anymore.
ReplyDeleteNo seriously though Iraq cost us mad loot.
