Help Jim Geraghty Re-Name Kerry Spot!

Geraghty's blog remains a first-read for many, including myself, but the title "Kerry Spot" has long been inappropriate. Even when Kerry was a candidate for office, he spent most of his time covering other issues.

Now that Kerry has gone the way of the dodo (by which I mean Al Gore), it makes even less sense.

Finally twigging on to that, he's taken the half-step of calling his blog "TKS," which is, frankly, a stupid name, and not even as fun to say as KFC. (Mmmm... extra crispy.)

Help Geraghty out by suggesting a new name for his blog. "Like a Viking," sadly, has already been taken.

I propose "The Other NRO Blog Which is Not About Marmite, Mathematical Puzzles and Puns, Star Trek, and Jonah Goldberg's Couch."

A bit wordy, I guess, but it sums things up.

Is "Ace of Clubs HQ" available?

I always assumed they were going to change it to "Geraghty Spot." The only other option is to do something with the word "pajama" in it, but all I can think of on that front are "Pajama Party" and "Cat's Pajamas."

Either of which would be gay.

"The Nook." "The Cranny."

Posted by: Stumbo on January 5, 2005 04:11 PM

Actually Allah...if they want to "sex" that blog up, they could call Geraghty's entries the "G-Spot".

That way, every dude could say, with an absolutely straight face, "Prepare yourself Teri Hatcher...I know where the G-Spot is, and I intend to make sure you do too."

Posted by: senator philabuster on January 5, 2005 04:13 PM

"G-Spot" would be great but it's way too colorful for NRO. Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't end up saddled with "Jim Geraghty's Blog."

Posted by: Allah on January 5, 2005 04:54 PM

Hey guys, I would bet G-Spot is already taken online, but I'm not doing a search to find out. Ick.

And yah, anything with "pajamas" sounds awfully froo-froo. (What GUY wears pajamas anymore?) It would be better to abbreviate it if you're going to incorporate that word.

Later,
bbeck

How about:

"Don't Make A F***ing Maniac Out of Me"
"The Integrity Kick"
"Where's Joe?"
"The Guys Get Shirts"

Posted by: Jimmie on January 5, 2005 07:03 PM

"TKS" is probably just a temporary acronym that they can transition into something like "That Kooky Site" or "The Komplete Shinola."

Well, for you NRO newbies, Jonah used to call his former bloglike column the G-Spot, and it transmogrified into the G-File later when they started becoming more, umm, respectable than just Jonah. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

If this is the official clearing house for suggesting names, Ace's wordy one is pretty good, considering their market space and offerings. Geraghty is quite prolific as a blogger. As he is doing punditry on an instantaneous basis, maybe "Instapundit"? Or because he's powerful, maybe "Powerline"?

Posted by: blaster on January 5, 2005 09:59 PM

OK..I take back my "G-Spot" suggestion as it was once Jonah's domain.

Given the pajamas issue, and the penchant of NRO to indulge in puns..I suggest the following:

"The Paj Mahal".

Spiritual home to the Pajamahadeen, and a tomb for Dan Rather's career.

"The Pajama Spot"?

Nah, he doesn't need to rename it. He just needs to make sure that every few days he finds some new Kerry factoid to comment on, among all the other stuff. It'd be a good shtick.

I mean, if someone had created The Gore Spot in 2000, then 2004 would've yielded the kind of bountiful harvest that makes Pilgrims create a new holiday. In financial advisor terms, I give a Kerry-themed blog the rating of "quintuple-A-and-a-smiley-face-sticker".

Posted by: Guy T. on January 6, 2005 12:30 AM

Well since they already have "The Corner", how about "The Cube" or "The Blog Box". Trying to stick with the NRO theme. Or perhaps he could may a play on NRO and call it GBO (Geraghty's blog online), however redundant that may be. I haven't seen any Reagan tribute names, like the Gipper Spot.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
