Gimme a Bareak

I know we're days away from one of the most important inaugural events in the country's history but I'm becoming slightly annoyed by the Barack Obama filler that is clogging up all of NPR's programs. While I do think he's a Barack Star, I don't feel it necessary for NPR to spend valuable radio time discussing the following:

1. A barber in South Chicago who changed the name of his salon from "Osama's Hair Salon" to "Obama's Hair Salon". I don't care.

2. All of the "words" that have been invented using parts of his last name as the prefix. They're not real words. Most of them are not even clever, they're stupid.
