Comments on: Return of the Douchebag http://www.metapede.com/blog/2008/07/19/return-of-the-douchebag/ I'm a generalist, and my blog is too.

I figured "Return of the Douchebag" would be the perfect post title under which to make my first comment in years on your blog (or any other meaningful contact.) Google Trends is a lot of fun. Let's play "Biggest Splash in the Pan." Try to find the highest peak in Google Trends. It's a sad commentary about our world (maybe just the parts with high Net activity) when the winners of this game all appear to be tragedies. My current high score is for "Virginia Tech" ( http://www.google.com/trends?q=virginia+tech ) with a peak in the low 60's. Also... it appears our Christmas Spirit is fading ( http://www.google.com/trends?q=christmas ) ... I know! Someone should write a really cheesy movie about how nobody believes in Santa anymore.

Dvorak mentioned how it wasn't libelous for a reporter to accuse a person of being a douchebag. In print, you can't call someone a crook unless they've been convicted, but you can call them a douchebag for any reason whatsoever. During his talk at Wordcamp 2007, John C.
